What do have to do to to reduce my ecological footprint by 1 planet? Explain in detail. How realistic is this compared to reducing it to 1 planet? Reflect: How does this challenge or change the way you think about your future?

You would have to reduce a lot of daily activities that you do and do allot of things you probably wouldn’t think about doing in a million years such as bathing with a bucket to save water. Also, before you toss that empty bottle or piece of cardboard into the recycle bin, ask yourself if there's a crafty way that you can reuse it. You can also use your crafty skills to make things you need from discarded items, rather than purchasing something new. No, I don't mean you should sit in darkness. Just stay conscious of what lights you have on in the house and whether you really need them on. When you leave a room, hit the switch. You can also ask yourself if there's a way to get by with fewer lights on. For example, my bathroom has two light switches. One turns on four bulbs over the sink, and the other turns on one bulb in the ceiling. By hitting that second switch when I go in to brush my teeth at night, I'm reducing my energy usage by 75% without really sacrificing a thing. This Would Just make our planet last a little longer. This would allow us to have one planet instead of so many imaginary planets that’s we have. Because of all the things we use and don’t recycle as well as the current we waste. It also signals to politicians that we are serious about treading lightly on the planet. This makes me think different of my future it aslo makes me be more aware of my environment and the things I use and how I try not to take advantage of anything.

How would my lifestyle change if it was reduced to 1 Planet? How did your lifestyle have to change?

Life would be more difficult to live only because you would have to take it more serious than usual. By, Recycling and Using Less Water and Electricity. To conclude, this would help the planet better only because we would live longer and our planet would be healthier. My Lifestyle would also change because I would take it more serious so we could have a nice non filthy planet. if we recycle their products instead of throwing them away, they can play a significant role in helping to prevent rubbish going to landfill sites and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. More people in the town to get involved in doing something good by recycling their drinks cans instead of throwing them away. I would have to make major changes to the way i live to make my world a better place for my future children and grandkids so they could live comfortable and don’t have to worry about global warming. Making decision such as Ditch the triclosan
Triclosan is an anti-microbial chemical that develop in side hair care products. When this stuff gets into our water supply, its bad news, but it's very easy to banish from the medicine cabinet. Go through your cabinet and read the ingredients on your toothpaste, soap, shampoo. Also, Use a shower bucket to save water. When you turn on the shower, stick a bucket under the faucet to collect the water while it heats up. And this would help our environment better and have one planet.

1. What is my current ecological footprint?

4.5 Earths Because we dont recycle in my home as well as turn of the lights off when we not using.  No driving, no public transportation, no heating, no cooling, 2 people in a 400-square foot apartment, mostly local/organic food, no meat/fish/eggs, dairy rarely, occasional new purchases, less than 10 hours of air travel per year. And that should be able to help the pollution going on around us.
