What do aliens think of people? How do we treat our home? How do you treat the planet you live on? Are we all as bad as each other?

Global Footprint All of you will know what a global footprint is Most of you will calculate your global footprint and suggest how it could be reduced Some of you will compare your global footprint to other people’s around the world LO: To calculate our global footprints and compare them to other people locally and globally.

Global Footprint … How much land, sea and atmosphere it takes to support your lifestyle. It is measured in global hectares or planets. How much productive sea and freshwater we use to feed us How much energy, water and materials we use How many emissions we produce How much productive land we need to feed us (crops/grazing) How much land we need to absorb our waste

We are going to go up to Room 32. You will need a pencil

This is your global footprint. If everyone lived like you we’d need this many planets When you have calculated your global footprint, use this page to complete your footprint sheet These are ideas you can use to reduce your footprint

1.Is your footprint larger or smaller than the UK average of 3.4 planets? 2.Why does buying things make our footprint bigger? 3.What happens to the size of a country’s global footprint as it gets richer? Why do you think this is? 4.Can we continue behaving this way?

Size of global footprint Less developed more developed What happens to the size of a country’s footprint as it gets more developed? Why might this be?

Do the following slides show a. problems caused by large footprints b. Ways of reducing our global footprints
