After calculating my footprint, I found that I needed 4.8 earths, and 21.3 global acres to support my life style. When you go to the beach and you walk in the wet sand you leave a footprint, now that is not the footprint I’m about to explain but it is similar. An ecological footprint is what waste we produce, and what we are leaving behind for the rest of the generations. This ecological footprint makes us realize how much we use, and how we are destroying our planet. So a way I can help with my ecological footprint is to purchase products with less packaging and that are made with recycled products. I choose this because it is something in my family that we do buy a lot. And yes we recycle everything we can but we also can help out a little more by using products with less packaging and that are made from recycled products.
I agree on your point about purchasing recycled products, its a norm that is sold around places and I like to be the consumer that knows what you've just bought makes a difference :)!
ReplyDeleteI wish my eco-footprint could be washed away like a footprint in the sand at high tide!
