Cheat Sheet
27
Exercise

• Group of 4
• minister of environment,
• minister of health,
• minister of defense,
• minister of finance
• context
• How big is Footprint, how big Biocapacity?
• Ecological Deficit? How many planets would it
  take?
• What is the trend? Global, national pop,
  consumption, efficiency?
• Exercise You want to shape the best future for
  your country. Use power of questions for defining
  issues What are top 1 (to max-3) questions? (you
  will ask your advisors, the president, the
  parliament, the press)

28
Example Egypt

• 1.5 ha/pers Footprint
• 0.78 ha/pers Biocapacity
• compare to
• World average 2.3 ha/cap Footprint
• Egypts use smaller than world average
• World average 1.9 ha/cap Biocapacity
• 1.5/ 1.9 0.8 Earths if all lived like Egyptians
• But with 0.78 ha/pers Biocapacity per Egyptian,
  Egypt needs 1.5/0.78 2 Egypts

29
Instructions

• Identify a person with whom you may not agree
  about a sustainability issue
• Write down how you would open the
  conversation
• B reads his/her opening to A
• A listens to inner voice
