The ecological footprint is a general assessement of the population while the ecological footprint per capita means the ratio a country's per capita Footprint to the per capita biological capacity available on Earth.

<h3>What is an Ecological Footprint?</h3>

This is best defined as the impact of human activities which is measured in terms of the area of biologically productive land and water required to produce the goods consumed and to assimilate the wastes generated.

The importance of Ecological Footprint is due to the fact that it does measures the biologically productive area that are needed to provide for everything that people demand from nature such as fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, wood, cotton, fibres, as well as absorption of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning and space for buildings and road.

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: It perpetuates the two-party system because minor parties do not attract a wide enough range of supporters to win.

Explanation:

The United States may be a democracy but it is one that is run by two parties. Minor parties do not have the reach, support or financing to challenge the great Republican and Democratic parties which is why in other to get enough votes to get into the major offices, one simply must belong to one of the two parties.

This is what the scenario above depicts. The plurality system assigs electoral votes to the candidate with the highest vote in the state and with the Reds and the Blues having support too wide to surmount, the system favors them and perpetuates their dominance.
