My Ecological footprint






1  What are two things that could be improved about this calculator so it more accurately reflects your footprint?

The two things that could be improved about the calculator so it more accurately reflects my footprint let me input data about the lack of hunting I do and the amount of water I conserve.


2  What surprised you about your footprint?

What surprised me about my footprint as that the data showed that I would need 5.3 planets to support my lifestyle if everyone lived like me because outside of buy processed food I thought I live a life whit a fairly low footprint.

3  According to your text, the average American footprint is big! Why is this?

This is mainly due to the quality of life that Americans enjoy like indoor plumbing and electricity etc.. this leaves a high footprint

If you do everything you can to be "green" and still have a bigger footprint than you expected, what could be contributing to this?



The contributing factor to this I believe would be to again the way of life we as Americans live and the fact that our lives for the most part are not set up to survive outside of processed foods and supermarket quick fixes.
