Nowadays, it´s very important to create conscience in the people about the ecological footprint that is the impact that each human has. In this activity, I´m going to explain you my ecological footprint and the actions that I have to do for contribute positively to the environment. So let´s start with my ecological footprint.
First, I began with searching the web and answering the questionnaire about the ecological footprint. That test is about the consume of electricity, water, gas, etc. in your home, also ask you how many persons live in your home, what amount of kilometers per year you did walking, driving, in the bus, etc. The result of that test for me was…If all the persons live like me; we would need to live 1.62 Earths, so we only have one, that is not okay…
My proposal is very simple but very important, it is to reduce my ecological footprint, because If reduce my footprint I would be helping the environment a lot!
First, I have to give the example and then I would teach to the others. So, I have to turn off computers at night, plant a notion, recycling glass, using one less paper napkin, using both sides of paper (print), recycling newspaper, taking a shorter shower, recycling old cell phones, using rechargeable batteries, among others actions.
Now that I have created conscience myself, I could do a good awareness campaign to form people of all ages by teaching simple ways to help the environment. In this case, I could do a campaign in my high school or community.
