The
"ecological track" in different countries from the world and the autonomies
of THE ECOLOGICAL
TRACK IN THE WORLD AND List of mail Habitat, http://habitat.aq.upm.es/habitat/ El Mundo, Natura supplement, 10 November, 2007 At the present time there are numerous information on the concept of the "ecological track", that could be defined as the amount of resources that an inhabitant of a country spends in a year doing an equivalence of this cost in necessary productive hectares that are needed to generate these resources and to filter and neutralize all the contamination that takes place in the production and use of these resources. It is evident that the richest nations produce a much greater ecological track, approximately a 80% of the productive capacity of the planet. The analysis ecological Track, devised in the middle of 90 by Wackernagel and others, has been applied to several levels, from the global scale (Wackernagel ET al., 1997; 2000), until the domestic level (Simmons and Chambers, 1998; Chambers ET al.,2000). Interesting graphs can be seen in the connection http://habitat.aq.upm.es/boletin/n34/arcor_4.html, that represents the report of Rafael Cordoba Hernandez, presented the Aid of Good Practices of September of 2007 celebrated in Dubai.

List HABITAT[1 ] is the place of encounter of the readers of the Library Cities for a More Sustainable Future, in where to share knowledge and experiences, questions and answers, preoccupations and talent. The thematic is ample but it is always bound to the sustainability and the city: country/city, north/south, social participation, ecological, local/global economy, transport, sustainable construction, bio-climatic architecture, urban planning, management of resources and waste. The list habitat in principle is not a discussion list and debates. Their primary targets are: 1. To communicate the new features of the Library to its readers. 2. To facilitate the contact between people involved in real experiences (good practices, etc), mainly to solve common problems and to interchange knowledge. Many other compatible lists dedicated to the debate of similar themes exist. (http://habitat.aq.upm.es/habitat/lista.html#PPIO). This
inequality in the use of the resources can also be observed when we compare
the richest zones with those of smaller development within a same state, as
