Footprint Analysis

The Earth is not as big as we could just see it from the space, yes it is huge and yes we are tiny, but then analysis of something in huge quantity may lead to a ratio not far from 1 is to 1 when talking about the Earth's resources against the needs of the people. We have underestimated the cause of every human being to the earth, like what i said in my first post, we cannot see the big things if we don't start counting them as smaller partitions of a huge group of organisms called humans, eco footprint could give respect to the fact that we have to consider the statistics of our needs to the earth's ability to supply it.

let us consider this as an example, today we have about 7.12 billion people around the globe and counting, we have lost the control of our population and to sustain our health, we have to adjust the supplies, and for adjusting the supplies, we have to consider the raw materials needed to maintain the quantity of the supplies. The world today is at its scarce state, our sphere home has counted down to its emptiness, it's like having a haircut every week where time is not enough for it to grow enough to be able to cut, a sponge that human squeezes even if there's no drop of resource available anymore.

the land surface of the earth is about 148 million square kilometers, a household has statistically got a 1 hectare of land per capita, and 1 hectare is 0.01 square kilometers, how could we even budget everything in our home if we are too crowded. we have not yet considered the part of that 148 million square kilometers which are not fertile, which in urban places' case, the land area which our houses and other buildings are built.

it is now a call time for us, it's quite an alarming fact to us that these eco footprint relatively gives us a huge amount of numbers, but then we should take this opportunity to take part of the environment by not just preventing the abuse of people by illegal approach to nature, but also preventing the abuse of people by taking substantial consumption to our resources, that by any means of a source maybe distributed so that not all would desperately get another, which our earth is paying. Let us not make our only home PAY for the price of our indiscipline consumption.
