Ecological Footprint Breakdown
- Services- 50%
- Food- 19%
- Goods- 14%
- Shelter- 10%
- Mobility- 8%
In order to reduce my carbon footprint, I will...
- Buy more locally grown foods. I will eat at least one meal a day made from local foods.
- I will visit the farmers market whenever possible.
- I will look for restaurants that buy local ingredients. http://sustainableconnections.org/foodfarming/eatlocalweek/
- Buy 50% more recycled products, or products with less packaging.
- Stop using plastic bags.
- According to www.wearewhatwedo.org, each person uses an average of 167 plastic bags each year. Each plastic bag can take up to 500 years to decay in a landfill.
- I will use re-usable bags or paper bags for my everyday purchases.
Chrystal -- these are reasonable goals but you need to be more specific and/or pick goals that you can quantify, e.g., "I will eat at least 3 meals a week using local products."
