Ecological Footprints from Around the World

In this activity, students determine their ecological footprint using an online Ecological Footprint Calculator. They also explore how their actions impact the earth through class discussion and independent work. Students compare the lives of Canadians with the lives of people in developing countries, and analyze how lifestyles and resources in different countries affect the size of each person’s ecological footprint.

The real game of survivor

Beyond disaster relief

“Something that my classmates and I agreed was interesting was that CHF doesn’t just throw money or supplies at people in need, you also teach them how to become self-sufficient and not only that, but you give them a sense of pride and worth. Every single person on this planet, rich or poor, deserves that….Thank you for reminding all of us of that.”
