Blog Two: Environmental Footprint

Blog Two: Due Tuesday, September 27th

 
Visit the above website and calculate your personal ecological footprint (base it on your life at home before you came to FGCU; you may need to consult someone in your household for some of the answers.).

First in your blog entry, list the number of earths it would take to provide resources/global acres to support your lifestyle. Then, define a footprint and explain how it relates to the broader concept of sustainability. How do we use this measure to interpret our life choices? Finally, and most importantly, select one area where you can reduce your own footprint. Explain your choice and live with it for a week, keeping notes on your success or failure. You will have the chance to address the changes you’ve made in a later assignment.
