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.
