What is your Ecological Footprint?

Jacob SackinMarch 22, 2009Blog

Every daily action has an impact on the earth. Recently, scientists all around the world have collaborated to create a measurement system that is used to compare the amount of land that people, businesses, or even countries use. By taking the ecological footprint quiz, you can figure out how much land and resources it takes to support your daily lifestyle choices. Also, the quiz will reveal how many planets it would take to support the world’s population if everyone lived like you! It can be quite a surprise…

So, check out the cool, animated quiz on the website www.footprintnetwork.com
Then, add a comment to this blog with your results and what you pledge to do to reduce your footprint. If everyone tries to reduce their footprint, we can save nature!! Woo hoo!
