Our Ecological Footprint is a sum of all the natural resources and man-made resources that it takes to support our lifestyles. Each footprint is different because each person is different and we all live differently.
You may think you are very similar to a person in the way you live, but your ecological footprint sometimes changes dramatically on very small choices.
Everything affects your Ecological footprint, sometimes indirectly but mostly directly, what you eat, what you wear, where you live, how you get to work/school, where you work, which products you buy, every choice you make will eventually affect your ecological footprint.
There are so many things we can do to reduce our ecological footprint, it’s just the question of can you be bothered? As it concerns our planet and for how much longer it can remain our home, I think we should all be more than bothered. My brother told me a fact the other day, if all the millionaires in Mexico changed as little as 3 of the light-globes in their houses to energy efficient ones then Co2 emissions would decrease noticeably! Think about the impact it would have if everyone changed 3 light-globes! Solutions aren’t difficult to find and they’re generally not difficult to do either.
Sorry, 209 words. :)
ReplyDeleteYou can edit your posts but thank you for the follow through about the word count. It is nice bringing in international facts to an international problem but the term 'noticeable' when it applies to CO2 emissions is hard to define. Try to be more specific - the air being clearer visually, a reduction in the particles in the air. A traditional intro, body, conclusion structure would have helped your argument. Also, try not to use the same word (i.e. difficult) too many times so close together.
