Eco-Footprint Reduction

In class we have been studying our eco-footprints and are finding alternatives and changes to help reduce our eco-footprints. In case you are wondering "What is an eco-footprint", an eco-footprint is how much you effect the earth in the time you are alive e.g. how many litres of fuel you use, trees you have indirectly cut down for your house.

We had to come up with three things we would do to help reduce our eco-footprint. Here are mine:

• Turn off all electrical appliances at the wall when they are not in use.
• Make sure all recyclable items are put in the recycle box.
• Have shorter showers and use water from the bath to water the garden.
