Galiano Island is the first island community in North America to document its ecological footprint, which is substantially larger than other B.C. communities.
The ecological footprint tool calculates the amount of land and water needed to produce resources consumed and absorb waste generated.
The One Island, One Earth study was pioneered by the Galiano Conservancy Association, an environmental charity on the island.
