Below is a picture of my ecological footprint from a quiz I took. An ecological footprint measures how much area of land and water an individual needs to live. It is measured in global hectares and is a way to ensure that we use Earth's resources and land wisely. According to my test results, it says that I would need 5.6 Planet Earth's in order for me to keep my lifestyle. In the pie chart, my two main reasons for my ecological footprints are due to services and mobility. In the third box, it shows that I would need 24.9 global acres of productive area for my lifestyle. To reduce my footprint I would be willing to buy food from a local market and buy an automotive that uses less gas due to me having to travel far from school and back home.
