Environmental Footprint

end.

After the 24 hours I reduced the number of planets I would need from 3.6 to 2.5. Since I am a vegetarian, it was not hard for me to reduce the amount of animal products I eat in half. I simply did not drink milk. I recycled all my plastic bottles instead of throwing them out which was difficult because there is no recycling on campus. I also tried not to drive much and when I did need to go somewhere, I waited until my friends needed to go somewhere so we only used one car to run our errands. It surprised me how many resources I used because I simply was never aware. It is a true eye opener to see that if everyone lived like me we would need 2.5 planets to have enough resources for everyone. That is shocking and somewhat scary considering there are many people using way more resources then me. Our environment needs to be saved immediately.
