Doing this assignment opened my eyes as to how much one person can really affect the earth. My lifestyle would need 4.6 Planet Earths to provide enough resources, and 20.6 global acres of the Earth’s productive area. I think the reason why my footprint count wasn’t lower is because of the amount of transportation I seem to contribute to not to mention my eating habits which could use a little room for improvement. When I think of a footprint I think of a newborn child and their birth certificate. Another thought that comes to mind is the fact that every footprint is unique in its own way. The area I plan to reduce on would most likely be my mobility. With gas prices going on a bipolar rage, it might not be so bad to take a step back and save the world more problems by either waking or carpooling. This could be a good time to think about investing in that longboard that I’ve been wanting for the past year… I swear there’s always a bright side to everything.
