My life if I reduce by one planet my footprint...

My life if i reduce by one planet would change completely because i would have to adapt on how to do things that i wasnt really use to doing. For example one of a few of the things would be recycling such as bottles, cans , glass , when i brush my teeth instead of leaving the water running i can turn it off until i really need it, i can also start cooking instead of always buying outside and buying healthy nutriscious food. Instead of buying junk food and can go out and by fruits and start making salads when i go home. Also when im charging my phone if im done charging it instead of leaving the charger on the oulet i can take it out and put it away. I would like to change my ways if that mean helping out and making the world a better place by doing these things because it is not such a big deal its minorthings . Another way i can reduce by one planet is by talking to my peers and family and let them know what they can do to make the world a better placce and by doing this i would not only be helping myself i would also be helping one else around me and giving them a good example . And i really would like to change my ways and also make a difference for myself and for other things around me.

The picture above shows that the more we recycle the more we can help out and not waste things sucha as bottles or cans that can be reused .

My life with ONE planet Footprint...

   The ways my life would be with one planet would be hell because i wouldnt be able to cope with eating organic foods and lowing things such as the electrcity while usuing the switch and stuff. i think it would be very hard because i am use to the way i live already and going out and buying foood and brushing my teeth with the water runnning, although i can be able to adapt to these things i think it would be very hard. I think for other people well certain people would be able to live like the enviornment  as in living as in 1 planet , i think majority of them would be able to follow this process because they have already adapt for tdoing it for so long. For example , they could just buy organic foods , not wasting so much electricity and reccling . One good thing that i currently do is recylcle while my mom actually recycles and i also go out and buyy some organic food but most of the time i would buy junk food just because i am use to it. My dad however would be one of those people that would live the lifestyle as in not using the electricity so much recycling , if hes something on the floor like trash hell pick it up and put it in the garbage can . He wont put the heat so high if he is cold and he usually does eat organic foood because he feels that it is healthy for him and also because he has just been doing it for as long as he can remember . So at this point i would not be able to live my life having on e planet , but this is how my life would change.

What is my current Ecological Footprint?

My current ecological footprint is 4 planets.This means that if people lived like me they would need 4.6 planets. the reason while people mat need 4.6 planets to live would be because they dont save energy and dont recycle.Ways to prevent saving energy and things .Would be when your in your room or something dont leave the light on if you do not need it. Also when your brushing your teeth dont leave the water on while your brushing your teeth you can turn it on and back off .Recycling helps alot and taking the garbage out .

The reason why my footprint is 4 planets is because I dont do the things that are necesarry in order to help the enviornment just because i am lazy.
