Biocapacity

Biocapacity is a measure of how many natural resources our Earth has and how much people use them. Think of Earth like a garden with a lot of trees and flowers. The biocapacity measures how much of the garden we are able to use for ourselves without hurting the garden too much. It is like measuring how big the garden is and how much we should use from it so it stays healthy and can carry on growing.
