Hey, I just went to this really cool website where you can take a quiz and find out how big your ecological footprint is on our earth. I am very sad to report that it if everyone on the planet lived my lifestyle, we would need 5.83 earths.
The site also outlines some ways in which you personally can reduce your footprint. Please go to the website and/or look at other information online and list two things on this blog you commit to doing differently in the next two months to help preserve the space we have left on Earth and to reduce your footprint.
I commit to change the following starting this week and continuing through the next two months (which at that point should be habits, and I will then choose two more):
1 - Unplug electronics when not in use.
2 - Avoid allowing car to idle and turning off the engine (unless I am in traffice). The site recommends not going through any drive-throughs, but parking the car and walking inside. I commit to this.
Please visit www.myfootprint.org, take the quiz, and let me know what you commit to!!!

ReplyDeleteI will commit to 1-reduce my food footprint by 1- eating lower on the food chain and 2-adopt energy-saving habits by turning off the power strip for our entertainment center at night. Sometimes I leave the TV on all night long!! Thanks for providing this information for me.
