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.
