Ecological Footprint

We still are not getting the fact the there are limited resources on this planet. We are not getting it in the sizes of our homes. We are beginning to get it when it comes to consuming local food and giving up our plastic bags. But watch how coming into money suddenly makes a person believe they need to surround themselves with thousands of square feet of limited planetary resources.

In our neighborhood a couple had 37 trees cut down to put up a 10,000 square foot home which must now be air conditioned and heated in a Mn climate for just TWO people. They can afford it, some will say,,, yeah but the Earth can't I reply
