I have been continuing my footprint reducing strategies, and here are my answers to the last questions:
8) What are you learning in this project?
From the ecological footprint reduction project, I am learning how to reduce my ecological footprint in easy ways. I have also learned in combination with the class that living a sustainable lifestyle is better than a wasteful one is almost every aspect (it cost less money, is better for the environment, your health...). This project also made me aware of all the waste I put into the environment on a daily basis and the large number of resources I use to sustain my way of living.
9) What would you recommend to others who may attempt ecological footprint reduction?
To others who want to reduce their ecological footprint, I would suggest starting with easy stuff- turning off lights or cleaning your car, because even though they are small tasks, they have real environmental benefits. I would also say choose strategies that fit your schedule- don't choose elaborate strategies if you can't keep it up over time, because the smaller tasks do the same job and become habit after enough time.
10) Will you continue your 4 strategies after this class? Why?
Yes, I will definitely keep up the strategies after this class, because they are easy to do and have environmental impacts! This project and class has opened up my eyes and made me realize you can take simple steps to lead a less environmentally-impacting life. The strategies I chose are easy enough to maintain at college next year, so I want to keep remembering to do them.
That's it for PROJECT 1!
