Every person, every household and every business consumes resources. The mark this consumption leaves on the natural world is the global (or ecological) footprint.
North Lanarkshire participated in Scotland's Global Footprint Project, working in partnership with WWF Scotland, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Councils to reduce our local and global environmental impact. |

North Lanarkshire has one of the lowest ecological footprints in Scotland but we are still using more than our share of the planet's resources. We are continuing our commitment to reducing our footprint, as we have outlined in the UK's first local authority Footprint Reduction Report.
We launched our Footprint Reduction Report at Thornlie Primary School with the First Minister on 6th October 2006. This report outlines our commitment to reducing our footprint in three policy areas. These include: Phase One housing of the Ravenscraig development, sustainable construction and design criteria for the draft Local Plan, and the purchase of school meals. |
