Did you know that if the 6.5 billion people who populate planet Earth consumed the same as the inhabitants of developed countries, we would need 3.5 planets like ours to satisfy all needs? We consume more than the Earth can support.
Obviously, this is not a sustainable way of life.
It's time to find a solution, and it's on our roofs!
The ecological footprint is a way of calculating the area of land that each person needs to:
- Get all the resources you consume (water, energy, food, etc.)
- Assimilate the waste it generates (rubbish, CO₂ emissions, etc.)
The ecological footprint allows us to be aware of the environmental consequences generated by our daily way of life.
Because we have to take care of the planet
We have long been consuming less plastic, using reusable bags, consuming seasonal and ecological products, and valuing electric or hybrid vehicles when changing our car.
There are many options that we can currently carry out to reduce the ecological footprint.
climate change
Climate change has been on the lips of most of the population for the past few years, but lately it is becoming the main problem to be solved by all countries, and we can all collaborate.
Air quality
Air quality is deteriorating year after year. We put the brakes on, and contribute to having an optimal atmosphere for the future of our children.
Non-renewable energies in decline
Since 2015, the growth of wind and solar power has almost doubled to supply, between the two, around 20% of electricity in the EU. In 2020, solar increased by 15% and wind by 9%.
Increase in the energy demand of families
More and more, we use more devices that require electric batteries, from cooking to mobility; scooters, motorcycles, bicycles or cars. With all these devices, the demand for energy inevitably grows, which is why it is necessary to look for renewable energy alternatives and thus contribute to clean and responsible consumption.
The 2030 agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals are, for us, an essential guide to follow in the professional field.
