I was shocked to find that my ecofootprint is terrible! If everyone lived like me, we would need 4.7 earth's to support us! That is over 20 global acres per person! I didn't think I was so bad, but apparently some choices I make really impact the environment. One of the worst is that I eat meat daily. That really takes a hit on the environment. 34% of my footrpint is from the food I consume. Services account for 39%, goods, 11%, shelter 10% and mobility 6%. I can make some changes, the biggest one being to eat less meat. If I eat meat only a few days a week, I can decrease my footprint by almost an entire earth! I don't have the ability to use public transport, and I can't change my house, but I can recycle more. After looking at what I can change, I dropped my 'earths' down to 3. Still not great, but a bit better.
