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.
Hey Sandra :) I am also sometimes abusing packaging too much. Let's keep trying to consume something which is good for the earth.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra! I have the same problem of driving so much.I rely on my vehicle to go to work and to basically get around. We could use the public transportation and stop wasting so much gas :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Sam. I can't drive so I don't use so much energy. But it's the question I will face in the future. I will keep in mind that use more public transportation.
ReplyDeleteHi,I have same feeling that people in America really drive a lot. Maybe it is because the public transportation here is not good. Place to place is really far away and it is inconvenient to live here without a car.I think the city government should improve the public transportation so that we don't need to drive so far.
