multiple choice question
if everyone in the world were to have an ecological footprint equal to an average ______, we would need about four more planets to support us all.

• kenyan
• north american
• australian
• nepali

need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

Ecological footprint relates to resource consumption. North Americans have a relatively high ecological footprint due to high consumption of resources (energy, goods, etc.). If everyone had a North American - level footprint, the resource demand would be so high that we'd need about four more planets to support the global population. Kenyans, Australians (while also having a significant footprint, not as high as North Americans in general context for this question), and Nepalis have lower average ecological footprints compared to North Americans.

Answer:

B. North American
