Eco-footprint

At school we have been studying our impact on the environment and our carbon footprint I am ashamed to say if everyone lived like me we would need 2.3 Earths and throughout my life I will release 7.2 tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere.

Here is the link for the website: http://www.earthday.net/footprint/
Find out what your footprint is and comment.

Three things I am going to do from now on to help reduce my carbon footprint are:

1. turn off all electrical appliances at the wall when they are not in use.
2. Reuse water e.g. water gardens with dirty bathwater and water from the De-humidifier.
3. Make sure all recyclable objects are put in the recycle box and use food scraps in a compost bin or feed them to the Guinea Pig.
