Humans impact the physical environment in many
ways: population needs, over consumption, pollution,
burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Fluctuations like these
have started climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and
undrinkable water.
Sustainable lifestyle help make a real difference in
society. By Reducing our Env. footprints When can
focus on sustainability.
ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINTS
An environmental footprint takes into
account the fullness of supply and demand of
goods and services for the population.
Quantitative measures
showing the particular
usage of natural resources
by humans (Hoekstra, 2008)
Carbon Footprint
 Pollution
 Contamination
 Dirtying
 Corruption
 Taint (Fault, Flaw, Failing)
 Adulteration (Infection)
 Foulness
 Defilement (Damage)
Carbon Footprint
 ENERGY / FUELS
 Carbon Emissions by Energy
sources Coal burned/Wind powered
 Example; What environmental
impact or Pollution load a sneakers
industry have?
Carbon Footprint Transportation
Carbon Footprint
 A carbon footprint is the total
greenhouse gas emissions caused by
an individual, event, organization,
service, place or product, expressed
as carbon dioxide equivalent.
 The average carbon footprint for a
person in the United States is 16
tons, one of the highest rates in the
world.
Water Footprint
 Fresh water Use
For an individual in its life time
depends on its life style.
 Consumption of Freshwater.
Consumption types:
Direct Water Consumption
(Drinking, Washing, bathing)
Indirect Consumption
(Eating, Travelling, Shopping)
Water Footprint Types
Green Water Footprint
Rain Water (Water stored in the root zone of
grasses, plants & trees).
Blue Water Footprint
Surface and Ground water (Lakes, Streams,
Pounds, Rivers, Sea and Oceans, Plus Under
ground Aquifers.)
Grey Water Footprint
Volume of freshwater required to assimilate
the load of pollutants to an ambient quality
standard.
Water Footprint a study by WWF
 Forest, Grazing lands, Barren lands etc.
 Rain fed Agriculture
 Irrigated Agriculture
(Green WF of human interaction)
 Household water use + Industrial water use
 Remaining fresh and quality flows for aquatic
ecosystem and other uses.
(Blue WF )
 Pollution of fresh water resources.
(Grey WF human interaction)

WFP for Sustainable lifestyle
Cotton 10, 000 liters of water of 1kg
Our choice to wear again and again or once
reuse practices, or not, buy and shop more
and discard more or less .
Burger 2400 liters water to prepare
Simple diet or vegan life style.
Life activity agriculture and industrial
products used in 24 hours; Volumes of
water consumed, embedded in these.
WFP for Sustainable lifestyle
Vegan meal Water Footprint
Mixing or balancing both ways of intake.
Washing, Bathing different ways to
check and reduced leaks, types of facets
to provide water.
Working patterns , Paper and its
products daily used. In offices, classroom.
(Volumes of water consumed to travel for a
work place depending on the conveyance
type {travelling passage + vehicle type})
WFP CFP
The water footprint of an individual, community, or
business is defined as the total volume of fresh water
used to produce the goods and services consumed
by the individual or community or produced by the
business.
Many of our daily activities cause emissions of
greenhouse gases. For example, we produce
greenhouse gas emissions from burning gasoline
when we drive, burning oil or gas for home
heating, or using electricity generated from coal,
natural gas, and oil.
ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT
 The Ecological
Footprint measures how fast
we consume resources and
generate waste compared to
how fast nature can absorb our
waste and generate resources.
ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT
 The impact of human activities
measured in terms of the area of
biologically productive land
and water required to produce
the goods consumed and to
assimilate the wastes generated.
