Ecological Footprint after 24 days

to reduce my ecological footprint for the day, i started the day off by using as little water as possible when brushing my teeth. I also used only one lamp in my room as opposed to the usual two. Instead of driving my car to the gym, I decided to ride my skateboard. I took a shorter shower before i went to bed and did not watch t.v. When I retook the ecological footprint test, my ecological footprint reduced by .5 planets Earths to 4.1 planets Earths from not driving as much.
I think it is more cost effective to skate instead of drive and it is good exercise as well. I think I will continue skating places that are close. I live in a dorm and therefore i do not have to pay for water or electricity so i don't think it is cost effective. Although, I understand that saving water is crucial so I will continue to try and be more aware when using the sink.

My Ecological Footprint

It takes 20.3 global acres of the Earth's productive area to support my lifestyle and if everyone lived like me, we would need 4.6 planet Earths to provide enough resources. Also, the majority of my ecological footprint (when broken down) contains food and services. I am appalled at this data and will do everything I can during the next 24 hours to reduce the effects of my ecological footprint.

my day without communication technology

i woke up and started at 10:30am. I went to class until 5:30pm. My classes went by a lot faster because i wasn't always checking my cell phone for the time. The day went smooth until my roomate and i were heading to a concert. I told him that i would get to go at andros cafeteria while he got the car and we would meet in the parking lot but i forgot i didnt have my cell so it took 15 minutes of me walking around aimlessly to find him and we were a little late to the concert. I forgot to tell my friends so they were a little upset the next day until i explained to them the assignment. The day was less stressful and i got a lot of work done because my friends werent bothering me. I dont think i could of completed the assignment if i didnt have music. It's the only thing that kept me busy besides homework.

Environmental issue

Im going to discuss the environmental concerns regarding non- biodegradable plastic. I want to focus on the three main plastic products that are causing the most damage to our environment. These products include plastic bottles, can holder rings, and grocery bags. I will discuss the negative effects these plastic products have on the environment now and in the future and ways to fix these problems.
