CSU Global Campus Biology Ecological Footprint Reduction Project Discussion
Ecological Footprint Reduction Project: ConclusionIn this week’s discussion, you will recalculate your ecological footprints from Module 1, and determine whether or not your actions taken over the past five weeks have made a difference in the size of your footprints. You will also have the opportunity to discuss additional actions one might take to live more sustainably. In particular, you are encouraged to focus on techniques for reducing the amount of waste that we generate in our everyday lives.Complete the following:First, redo your three footprint calculations from Week 1: your ecological footprint (What Is Your Ecological Footprint? (Links to an external site.)); your household carbon emissions footprint (Carbon Footprint Calculator (Links to an external site.)), and your daily water footprint (Water Footprint Calculator (Links to an external site.)). Again, record all of the numbers and units associated with each footprint.Next, download this footprint results table (Links to an external site.) and fill it out completely. You will need to refer back to your footprint results table from Week One.Based upon the results on your table, how did the footprints change, if at all? Do you suspect that any changes are the result of the actions you took? Why or why not?In a well-crafted discussion post of at least 200 words, report on the results of all five weeks of the Ecological Footprint Reduction Project. Did you meet with success? If so, what activity or activities do you think made the biggest difference? What additional actions would you consider taking to reduce your footprints in the future, particularly in terms of lessening the amount of materials you consume and wastes you produce? What did you learn from this experience? Do you think that individual efforts to live more sustainably matter? Why or why not?
