Ecological Footprint

Well, learning about the ecological footprint made me think a bit. I never knew how much goes into many of the things we buy. I never thought about it the way the footprint shows us. How much resources, and land mainly, that is put into many of the gadgets. The land that is used to build the product, the land that is used to get the fossil fuels to ship the merchandise, the land the vehicle travels on, the land the resources came from to make the product, and I am sure there is more being used in the process. That is a lot of land just for one product, and there are billions of products available today. So we are using a lot of the earth already, will we continue to consume at high rates or change our ways.
