baiscly we copy nature because when a termite eats wood the tiny micro organizims breaks down the food and
it turns it into ethonal a cleaner fuel that we can burn to get our electricty.

ecological footprint: us on earth using more than what earth an give us.
here is an example for the ecological footprint: in the usa we are the second on the list for using more than what the earth can give us. this means that we took more than what the earth supplied us with so this has to do with golbal warming.so we are taking demand of the supplies of what the earth can give us


overshoot (as it relates to supply and demand):when humans exceed natatures supplies.
here is an example of an over shoot: it is just like the ecological footprint when we take demand of the earth's supplies when we take more than earth can give us.

What does this equation mean?
area x bioproductivity = biocapacity [SUPPLY]
population x consumption per person x footprint intensity = ecological footprint: This equation means that we all on earth is taking more than earth can give us (as in each person in the world and the earth's population when we use the supplies that earth gives us.)
