The best indicator of how man lives and affects the earth is the ecological footprint. Mathis Wackernagel is responsible for the development of the ecological footprint, while William Rees is in charge of the name itself - the ecological footprint. The special feature of the ecological footprint, apart from its reliability, is its practical application. When calculating the ecological footprint, the biggest problems are people and their lifestyle. It is consumed beyond the possibilities of nature, and such a burden is reflected on the environment. Therefore, the richest countries in the world have a much larger ecological footprint than other countries, but the real problem lies in the fact that such a lifestyle is imposed on other countries as desirable. Consumption is increasing, but at the same time there are no solutions to increase biocapacity growth. An important prerequisite for the future development of environmental awareness depends on the awareness that needs to be developed from the earliest age of thec hild. Change begins with an individua who must rethink himself, his habits, thoughts, and actions in order to educate new generations. The goal is to educate future generations who will become environmentally conscious citizens who are connected to nature and who will improve the quality of life with in the capacity of a sustainable system.
