Using the ecological footprint calculator, I generated 2.9 earths. I was shocked to see the results. I think it was so high because I travel a lot. I take at least one major plane trip per year, as I have family all over the world. I also eat a lot of meat and that may have also affected the results. After I tried to reduce some of the stuff that I could live without, my number of earths changed to 2.5. It didn’t go down by much or even how much I hoped. I think it did sort of open my eyes to my style of living. As for the carbon consumption I got 22 tons. As for this number I am not sure it is very accurate as I did not know the answers to many of the questions being asked. Because of that, I just put the average number for each. Overall, I think I can improve my lifestyle to create less waste. This test was really interesting and I do think it is important to think about our effect on the planet.
