==Ecological Footprint== en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_footprint Ecological footprint analysis approximates the amount of arable and agriculturally or ecologically productive land area it takes to sustain one human or group of humans, say in a family or city, based on their use of energy, food, water, building material and other consumables. It is a way of determining relative consumption for the purpose of educating people about their resource use and, sometimes, triggering them to change how they consume.
==Renewable Resources== http://www.rnrf.org/ The International Society of Arboriculture is a worldwide professional, scientific, and educational organization dedicated to fostering a greater appreciation for trees and to promoting research, technology, and the professional practice of arboriculture. The society is a dynamic medium through which arborists around the world share their experience and knowledge for the benefit of society.
