PER CAPITA ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

PER PERSON

*POLLUTION CLEAN UP *POLLUTION PREVENTION

how do we control pollution:

I - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT P - POPULATION A - AFFLUENCE C -TECHNOLOGY

is another environmental impact model:

POINT SOURCE POLLUTION

is easy to identify, as the name suggests, it comes from a SINGLE place

NON POINT POLLUTION

is harder to identify and harder to address. It is pollution that comes from MANY places, all at once.

BIODEGRADABLE, NONBIODEGRADABLE

main type of pollutants:

POINT SOURCES, NONPOINT SOURCES

sources of pollution:

ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

the AMOUNT of BIOLOGICALLY productive land and water needed to provide the people in a region

PRIVATE PROPERTY, COMMON PROPERTY, OPEN ACCESS RENEWABLE RESOURCESQ

three types of property or resource rights:

COMMON PROPERTY AND OPEN ACCESS RENEWABLE RESOURCES DEGRADED FROM OVERUSE, SOLUTIONS

tragedy of commons:

* DISRUPT/DEGRADE LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR ANIMALS * DAMAGE WILDLIFE, HUMAN HEALTH, PROPERTY, CREATE NUISANCES

unwanted effects of pollution:

ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION

wasting, depleting, and DEGRADING the earth's natural capital

ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINTS

A Model of UNSUSTAINABLE Use of Resources/measures how fast we consume resources and generate waste compared to how fast nature can absorb our waste and generate resources

GRAZING

allowing livestock to directly consume the growing forage; grasses, legumes, and forbs

NATURAL CAPITAL DEGRADATION

environmental degradation also called:

UNSUSTAINABLE

footprint is larger than biological capacity for REPLENISHMENT
