What is largest contributor to the ecological footprint of most individuals in affluent nations?
The largest contributor to the ecological footprint of most individuals in affluent nations is the consumption of goods and services, particularly those that require extensive resources and energy for their production and transportation. This includes items like clothing, electronics, and food that may have a high carbon footprint or are associated with deforestation, water depletion, and pollution. Additionally, transportation and energy use in affluent lifestyles also contribute significantly to their ecological footprint.

How do you increase your ecological footprint?
Drive an SUV; leave the lights burning in every room all night; hold the fridge door open for ten minutes every hour; run the air conditioning with wndows open. BUT.... ummmmm.. Why would you want to INCREASE your carbon foorprint when soooo many others are desperately trying to DECREASE the overall carbon footprint of humanity? We all have a fairly small footprint, this is a hype issue. Having said that, there is absolutely no reasonable reason to not want as small a carbon footprint (or any pollutant footprint) as possible. What you want to be careful of though is that you don't shrink your carbon foot print at the cost of a much larger real pollution foot print. High efficiency bulbs are a great example. They do decrease the power consumption at the terrible cost of Mercury mining, florescence being used and a far larger real pollution foot print. They sure feel good though.
