Ecological Footprint

I started my ecological footprint at 6:00 pm on Thursday. If every one lived like me then we would need 5 planet earths to provide enough resources. To support my lifestyls it takes 22 global acres of earths productive area. I did many things to try and improve my ecological footprint. I ate less animal products. I didn’t drive I rode my skateboard. I ate more locally grown food. I ate more fresh food. I cleaned dishes instead of using paper plates. I turned my lights off and didn’t use as much electricity. After retaking the quiz I now only need 3.6 earths to support us if everyone lived like me and now it only takes 16 global acres rather than 22. I finished this project at 6:00 pm on Friday. I found that it takes more money when you have a bad ecological footprint.
