Healthy Farm (New)

Industrial food production, which currently dominates U.S. agriculture, is a dead end. It damages air, water and soil, harms rural communities, and limits future productivity. But there's a better way. Scientists call it agro-ecological agriculture. We call it healthy farms. Healthy farms can be just as productive as industrial farms—and a lot more sustainable. An interactive website put up by Union of Concerned Scientists (Citizens and Scientists for Environmental Solutions).

Foodprint Vs. Biodiversity
According to the new 2010 Living Planet Report, global biodiversity— as measured by a metric called the Living Planet Index (LPI) — has declined a stunning 30 percent between 1970 and 2007. Meanwhile, Ecological Footprints around the world are growing larger. A "footprint" tracks the area of land and water required to produce the renewable resources people use, and the space needed to absorb their waste. Since 1966, humanity's overall Ecological Footprint has doubled. Today, human activities exceed the Earth's biocapacity by a sobering 50 percent.

How Convenience is Killing Our Planet

Global Carbon Footprint

"When you drive a car, the engine burns fuel which creates a certain amount of CO2, depending on its fuel consumption and the driving distance. (CO2 is the chemical symbol for carbon dioxide). When you heat your house with oil, gas or coal, then you also generate CO2. Even if you heat your house with electricity, the generation of the electrical power may also have emitted a certain amount of CO2. When you buy food and goods, the production of the food and goods also emitted some quantities of CO2. Your carbon footprint is the sum of all emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide), which were induced by your activities in a given time frame. Usually a carbon footprint is calculated for the time period of a year." This is directly related global warming and climate change.
