My FOOTPRINT on the world.
Reduce, Reuse, Recyle. To support my super cool lifestyle it would take six earths to provide resources and global acres. It would take 26.5 global acres which accumulates to 29.4 tons of carbon dioxide. An ecological footprint is a measure of how much resources are demanded for survival in the earth’s ecosystem compared to how much the earth can really provide for us. We use this measure of the environmental footprint to interpret how much of each section in the global breakdown humanity uses in everyday life. To reduce my own footprint it would be the general food area. A lot of what I but if produced and packaged, it’s not all fresh. I think by buying more freshly produced products can reduce the waste I accumulate, the packaging that the food comes in will be reduced and the things I eat would clearly be healthier for me so therefore I would have a healthier diet. At home my family and I recycle all of our paper, carboard, and plastic bottles. If everyone started to make small changes in the way they live, our earth would be a better place.
