Chapter 6 Summary

Over the years, the authors have learned most from the many questions, suggestions and often brilliant ideas arising from debate and discussion with colleagues and other interested parties. Who has used this method? Who has failed with footprints and why? What are its benefits? Could this concept be dangerous or could it be misused? What if corporations try to take it over? What is the footprint of my dog?

The list of ideas and suggestions is extensive and continues to grow. In this chapter we address what we perceive to be the main recurring themes in a question and answer format. These are cross-referenced from earlier sections of the book.
