During a 24hr day I consume so much. Not even from looking
at my ecological footprint. I know
from self-doing how much I actually consume. Energy usage being a big one, I
try to shut off my lights the best I can but I forget to all the time. In my
house I am in charge of the electric bill so you think I would be more
conservative to try not to pay so much but it’s extremely hard. Going from
living at your parent’s house where they tell you to shut them off to just
doing it on your own. It’s definitely a huge struggle for myself. I drive
everywhere! I hate to be a passenger in most cars because I get nauseous and
car sick a lot, but when I drive I’m fine so I volunteer all the time. Just
driving from school and back and work and back builds up a huge fuel emission even
if their only 5miles away. I do consume a lot of food in a day but I’m a
growing boy. Just recently I have been trying to be greener in what I eat. Lots
of fruits and vegetables but I do have meat and dairy a lot as well. I wake up
with eggs or a bagel almost every morning and usually have some type of chicken
for lunch with a salad. Dinner isn’t as bad, I am usually working so I don’t eat
dinner often I usually just pick at snack. Water use is big. I shower at an
average three times a day. I workout at least once a day and with that on top
of school and work and just living in Florida (the sunshine state) I sweat a
lot. So I shower a lot too. I realize that I need to try and keep lowering my
eco footprint. When I took this test freshman year for one of my humanities
classes I took up about 10 earths. Now I am at 5.9 earths a lot lower but I think
I can keep getting it lower.
