post# 2-ecological footprint.

My ecological footprint number makes a difference to the earth.I eat foods that are not always organic,i don't always recycle, and i use public transportation everyday to get to school.Those are some of the things that i am doing that can improve.The things i find that i am doing right is me and my family in the house don't waste too much water in the shower,but that could also be improved in order to conserve more water by taking shorter showers and not letting the water run while we brush our teeth in the mornings.The things that i am doing good personally is that hardly eat meat,i save allot of energy me and my family because we turn off all appliances in our house when not in use,our electricity as well. My lifestyle wouldn't change too drastically if i was to reduce my ecological footprint to 1 planet.In order to do this though, i would have to become a vegetarian, eat only greens, probably use allot of solar heated stuff,insulations,take shorter showers,reduce our garbage and use more of our garbage for compost. Other things i can do to reduce my ecological footprint to 1 planet is to recycle ALL of my glass,plastic,metal,and electronics,by only organic stuff like food or house cleaners instead of chemicals.
