In the space below, in paragraph format, explain what an ecological footprint is. How big is the Canadian ecological footprint compared to that of most other countries in the world? How many planet earths would we need in order to support everyone living on the planet with a Canadian lifestyle? Why is it important to “think globally and act locally” when connecting the ideas of ecological footprint and global village? Provide specific examples for how we can reduce our ecological footprint in terms of: water, energy consumption, waste production, and land use. How could these changes benefit the global village? ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ I – Population Pyramids 1.

The dependency load is the percentage of people who are not in a working age range, and therefore depend on others for support (financially, etc.). Show all work. In 1961 the dependency load was: In 2050 what is the projected dependency load expected to be? (number will be a % of the population) (number will be in the millions) /4 = _______% = ________ million people c) Based on the dependency load for 1961, what must the government have had to plan for? _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ d) Based on the projected dependency load for 2050, what must the government of the near future have to plan for? _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Part J – Location Factors On the lines provided below, identify the six location factors that businesses and industry make when trying to decide where to locate.
