Environmental Footprint

An environmental footprint measures the impact of human activities on the planet, including resource consumption and waste. It quantifies how much land, water, energy, and other natural resources are used to support our lifestyles, as well as the waste and emissions generated. A smaller footprint indicates less strain on the environment, promoting sustainability. It helps individuals, businesses, and governments understand their environmental impact and encourages efforts to reduce harm by using resources more efficiently and adopting eco-friendly practices.
