QUESTIONS

1. Based on your findings from the ecological footprint calculator, how many Earth’s would be needed to support the global population if everyone lived your same lifestyle? Additionally, describe the impacts on the Earth’s climate, biodiversity, and economic security if every individual in the world lived your same lifestyle and discuss why these impacts would occur.

Answer = If everybody lived like me it would take 3-4 earths. The impact of energy land would be great causing an effect on global warming. It would affect biodiversity because of the forest that it would have intruded on. I think it would help the economic security because I don’t produce any of my own foods or products. I buy everything which puts my money into
