After completing the footprint activity, I found that it would take 6.2 Planet Earths if everyone lived as I do. I also discovered that it takes 27.6 global acres to support my lifestyle. That's pretty shocking if you ask me. This activity really sheds light on the impact we all have on the Earth and shows that we have to start living more responsibly.
The two largest portions of my ecological footprint fall in the categories of services and food. I feel that I could reduce my personal impact on the foods I eat. I will try to eat better and maybe even shop at local markets for goods. I will also try to waste less and use reusable bottles to reduce my impact on the environment. I would really like to decrease the amount of resources I use and will make it a staple in my lifestyle to change my ways.
