Humans and the earth  Humans rely on the earth to survive  Only 16% of the earth is usable land  70% of the land is covered by water.  All 6.7 billion people must share this land  What happens when people use more than their share of land.

 If the world was divided evenly, each person on earth would be allotted approximately 1 ha. –In the world, the average person uses 2.3 ha –In Canada, the average person uses 8.8 ha

Curbing our over-consumption  Water Shower? Yard? Washing machine? Drips? Teeth brushing, Dishwasher?  Energy Lights? Appliances? Computer?  Food Meat? Local? Composting? Processed?  Transportation Car? Public transportation? Carpooling? Fuel efficient?  Garbage What is thrown out vs. recycled/repurposed? Excess packaging.  Home Size? In a city? Heated? Duplex? Apartment?
