Introduction The actions of humans have a negative impact on the ecology and the environment around us. The degree of pollution which is emitted into the environment as a result of the human actions, the industrial activity as well as the way humans lead their lives has been lading the world towards an imminent environmental crisis. Humans have been exploiting the environment and it resources at an increasing state predicts that they will be left with little or no resources to sustain their current activities. In lights of these problems, steps have been taken to explore use of eco printing for sustaining the environment for the future. This paper provides a critical review of the article ‘Can eco-foot printing analysis be used successfully to encourage more sustainable behaviour at the household level?’ by Marcus Sutcliffe, Paul Hooper and Ros Howell Summary of the Research Article The article highlights that the aggressive activity being conducted by the humans has reached to a level of over capacity amounting to 20 percent which cannot be met by the resources provided by the environments and nature. As a result drastic actions have to be implemented form now in order to stop the usage in overcapacity by humans and explore new methods of conducting activities in a more environmental friendly manner. For this Sutcliffe, Hooper & Howell explore eco foot printing and how we can make use of the concept to monitor and reduce the negative impact of human activities on the environment. The article depicts that eco foot printing technique provides us with the potential to protectively measure how the global unsustainable consumption is related with the lifestyle of the people. Through this technique the individual consumption as well as the components of waste can be converted into and which has the ability to be bio-productive. The nature and the characteristic of this land is to encourage and sustain the activity of the humans while minimizing the impact o the environment. Sutcliffe, Hooper & Howell have conducted an empirical pilot study which seeks to determine whether the eco foot printing analysis technique can be employed at the level of the individual households to see whether it can result in any change in the lifestyles of the households towards a less resource intensive and a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. The results of the study under taken in the article indicate that using the ecological foot printing technique, the change in the individual households lifestyles can have a positive impact on the environment by reducing the use of scare resources by the households. Arguments Presented in the Article The arguments that are presented by Sutcliffe, Hooper & Howell in the article pertain to the fact that eco footprinting analysis technique has been used by each and every household to reduce their respective contribution to the environmental crisis which would also reduce the level of their economic footprint. The authors ground their argument on the fact that if humans live sustainable by utilizing the resources and the products which are renewable in nature, the resources that are used up by humans can be replaced over a smaller period of time which can increase sustainability of the resources in the long run. The authors support their theory b
