Have you ever stopped to consider the total environmental impact involved in each of these daily habits? The ecological footprint is one technique to answer the question of how our lifestyle effects the planet. The ecological footprint (EF) was developed at the University of British Columbia department of Community and Regional Planning by Dr. William Rees and Dr. Mathis Wackernagel. It estimates how much of Earth's productive land and sea is used to pro duce the food, materials and energy that we consume and to assimilate our wastes. The EF looks behind the scenes to really see what it takes to make an alarm clock, a cup of coffee, our clothes, our home and to operate our automobile. This gets complicated, especially in our global economy where the products we consume originate from all over the world. As an example lets take a deeper look at that morning cup of coffee. Land is needed to grow the coffee beans, for the processing and distributing operations, to house corpo rate management and advertisers as well as the downtown store. Additional forest land is needed to absorb the CO2 resulting from all the energy burned harvesting, processing and shipping the coffee. Somewhere on the planet land was mined to make the metal for the machinery used in each step of the process and for the chemicals used in fertil izers and pesticides.
