Earthday Ecological Footprint

Our ecological footprint is the "footprint" we leave behind on this earth that allows us to determine how we have made our mark on the Earth. Some of our ecological footprints are bigger than others and some have a very small footprint.

On the Earth Day Footprinter Calculator here is what my results looked like:

I never realized that my living conditions meant that 6.3 earths would be needed just to sustain my lifestyle! That is crazy. Thankfully everyone doesn't do the same things I do or eat the same way. However, that also tells me that I need to cut down on the amount of things I do that cause harm to the environment. There really needs to be some sort of balance where we can all live a decent life one just one Earth without using up all of its resources at once. My driving and services account for most of the negativity in my ecological footprinter However, the ecological footprint does not take into consideration the amount of cleanups I do on beach and around my community. So hopefully, that helps lower it.
