3. Eco-footprints explained
An eco-footprint is a measurement of how sustainable someone or an area is.
Mind map criteria for eco – footprint.
For the remainder of the lesson build up this mind map

4. Summarise into 50 words
The Ecological Footprint (EF) is a measure of how much
productive land and sea is needed to provide the resources,
such as energy, water and raw materials, we use in our
everyday lives. It also calculates the emissions generated from
the oil, coal and gas we burn, and it determines how much
land is required to absorb our waste. Since we use resources
from all over the world, our footprint is the sum of these
areas, wherever they are on the planet. It is measured in
global hectares per person (gha/capita). An ecological
footprint can be calculated for an individual, a group or even a
product.
