My Really Large Big Huge Footprint

So it would take about 6.8 planet Eaths to provide resources for my lifestyle if everyone lived like me. And I'm shocked to say the least.
An Ecological Footprint basically calculates areas of your lifestyle and helps break the number of Eaths into resources that you use a plethora of and also give you tips that would help fix any problems like recycling and carpooling. The Ecological Footprint helps you realize how extreme your livestyle is and stresses just how much you are hurting the Earth.
Since I drive 50 minutes back and forth to FGCU 4 times a week, I probably use more gas than most other people. I think carpooling with other students and finding a more gas effiecent car will not only help my wallet but also reduce my HUGE footprint that I have left. By using less gas as well finding alternate ways of getting to and from school, I will reduce my gas usage and also help in fixing a problem that I have caused.
