coal. And these buildings save energy more than brick buildings. They only depend on all renewable energy resources such solar power, hydro-power and wind power which are used for heat and electricity and they design windows in a way that allows the natural light get in, therefore, Energy efficiency is essential not only for the user but also for the world because non-renewable energy sources are expensive and pollute the environment.

by making a comparison to the open sea and land. Sea and land space that is productive supports the demands of human beings such as food, energy, and timber. An ecological footprint is capable of measuring the total of the human demands in their natural occurrence across the planet. Also, it can address the question of the extent of planet’s biological capacity which is demanded by a particular activity or population. By addressing such a question, an ecological footprint indicates the amount of…
