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 = Earths climate? Basically it all depends on the people in the population itself. Basically which people live the same life style. However, if everyone was living the same condition as me then I think that the world would not be in existence. And the people in the world would be extinct because we would not be able to survive by any means.
