ABOUT THIS COURSE
“The Earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth. The human environment and the natural environment deteriorate together ; we cannot adequately combat environmental degradation unless we attend to causes.” Pope Francis
Our Ecological Footprint is a measure of our impact on the earth as individuals and as communities. It takes into consideration everything we do, what we produce, what we consume, where we live, how we travel by measuring the amount of the planet’s resources we use. The Ecological Footprint is expressed in the land used to sustain us and handle the waste we create. Examining our own ecological footprint allows us to see where we can lessen our impact on the planet, helping us to change our ways of thinking, believing and acting. In this conference Moira Byrne will help us to understand just what our Ecological Footprint is, locally and globally.
