Study on Ecological Footprint of Campus Paper Consumption

Abstract:

With the recognition of sustainable development improving gradually, low carbon campus construction has become a trend in international society. The ecological footprint model is a kind of effective method to measure the sustainable development and have some reference for low carbon campus study. Our case study is the ecological footprint of paper consumption in Dalian University of Technology, China. The results show that nearly 481.60 hm² of ecologically productive lands were needed to support paper consumption and this means that the land consumed by the university is 2.28 times larger than its physical or built-up land. Within 2011 academic year, the reused paper flow was added up to 237.69 tons, of which library contributed the most with 164.98 tons and the remaining 72.71 tons came from secondhand books obtained from last academic year 2010, finally saved nearly 578.33 hm² of forest land.
