The results of my Ecological Footprint came out to be that if everyone lived like me we would need 4.4 earths to provide enough resources. I'm surprised because I actually thought I would use up a lot more "Planet Earths" than the results said I would. I feel like I use a lot more water and energy but then again the quiz didn't calculate the amount of water or energy I use, it just wanted to know if my house had energy or not. I think if the quiz calculated the exact or estimated amounts I would use a lot more resources. Some ways I could reduce my ecological footprint would to drive less and car pool, walk, or take the bus more and definitely use less water. Some examples would be, take shorter showers, turn the water off when I'm brushing my teeth, etc.
Glad I wasn't the only one with such a high number! You got .1 Earths higher than me! I agree the quiz wasn't exactly perfect, considering they didn't ask the exact amount of energy you use. Also good work on the signature!
ReplyDeleteI did worse than both of you! I like both of your ideas to help reduce your eco footprint and I think it is a good idea for me to follow suit!
