My results indicated that my footprint would need 3.8 earths, and 16.9 global acres to support my lifestyle. That made me look at a new prospective: destruction. A foot print is the amount of resources a person consumes, and without seeing the big picture, we take it for granted and what we take in lessens our natural environment. Earth, our home, is being further abused by the industrial world, and an increased level of pollution appears on a regular basis; whether it being from gas guzzlers to garbage in local waters. A way we can sustain our planet can be to recycle and take in consideration of our actions we leave behind. From past experience, I chosen to ride the local transit here in Fort Myers to school, and it wasn’t bad. I mean, yeah there were weird characters I would ride with, but it was interesting to interact with people of different backgrounds. That and I yet could afford to buy my own car, least to say pay for gas! Though, now I have a vehicle, so I’ve stopped riding the bus, and I miss it! So the changes I would make for the planet to be more eco-friendly is mobility, this was the biggest target on my personal pie chart. I am going to challenge myself to carpool or catch the bus to local areas, though not for school, that would be nearly impossible. It helps me know that there are better outcomes for both me and the world! Who knows how much of a difference it would make, and if it means to walk a little further to a transit stop to be GREEN :)!
Wow! that's great and smart way to save on gas by taking the transit to school. There are definitely some interesting people on public transportation, but make the best out of it :)
