A college student spends the week hiking on the Appalachian Trail and then spends Friday night walking around New York City's Times Square. What is her ecological footprint during the week compared to Friday night?
A) Her ecological footprint was small in the natural environment and high in the man-made environment.
B) Her ecological footprint was large in the natural environment (because she was the only human) and small in the man-made environment (because there are lots of humans) .
C) Her ecological footprint was the same in both environments because ecological footprints are only calculated over long (at least a year) periods of time for entire human populations.
D) More information is needed about what resources the student used in both environments to determine her ecological footprint.
