Glossary

• Global warming- the increase in temperature of the earth's atmosphere, that is caused by the increase of particular

gases, especially carbon dioxide greenhouse effect • Ecological Footprints

- The Ecological Footprint estimates how much productive land and water you need to support what you use and what you throw away. Ecological Footprints can be calculated for individuals like you, communities, and even countries. If the Ecological Footprint indicates that more natural resources are used than the Earth supplies, than this is not a sustainable lifestyle.

• Conservation• to use as little of something as possible so that it lasts a long time

• Recycle• to treat things that have already been used so that they can be used again

• Resources• Resource is any physical or virtual entity of limited availability, or anything used to help one

earn a living.
