I took the quiz and was shocked by my results. I wasn't aware before this quiz on how much I consume and use on a regular basis on my own. My impact showed that it would take 4.3 worlds to hold people like me. Once I read that I was really taken back. I felt bad about just how much me alone was affecting the environment. Now that I am aware I know that I will be actively trying to cut back on my ecological footprint.
Some things that I know that I can easily do improve my footprint is to buy locally grow food and bring my own reusable bags. On nice days instead of taking the bus I could walk to and from campus. Just these small little changes can help me to start cutting back on my footprint.
There is no need to feel too bad because a lot of us got scores like that. I think as college students there are certain things that we have no control over. There are tons of things that we can do though; for us it is the small things that count the most.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Shelby, there is no need to feel down because you are one step ahead of most people. You now know that you could improve your actions to lead a healthier life for yourself and the environment!
ReplyDeleteI felt bad too after learning my results on how I was affecting the planet. But as long as we are conscious of what we are doing and want to make a change for the better, and take steps towards doing so, I think says a lot.
