I was a little surprised to see my number of earths because I have done a similar version of this before. This version was more specific so my number of earths increased by one. It would take 5.4 earths, 24.2 global acres, and 25.2 tons of carbon dioxide to support my lifestyle. An ecological foot print can really show a person how much they are consuming and what they are leaving behind. When people see how rapidly we are depleting our resources their whole view will change, and hopefully their lifestyles will follow. Our earth cannot be recycled so we have to be more cautious with our decisions. I think I can reduce my footprint by monitoring the trash and trying to reduce our weekly collection of garbage.
