Footprints

So we keep hearing about "carbon footprints" of various things and activities. The only thing I get about this is it has something to do with perceived "environmental friendliness." This lead me to think about another footprint....

What kind of footprint do we leave? I'm not concerned with "carbon" here. Is the world around us a better place for us having been there? Sure, some things are pretty concrete. We pick up a piece of trash we didn't drop. But what else? Are people blessed by our having been near them or drained?
