Your ecological footprint
Do you know what your ecological footprint is? How many Earths would it take to sustain us all if we all lived like you?
Your ecological footprint is simply a measure of the resources (water, land, energy, etc) you use in your life, from food, activities, electricity consumption to holidays, car choice and the amount of space required to store your rubbish.
The EPA Victoria has a set of calculators on their website to help you calculate what your footprint actually is. The answers may be a bit confronting, but hopefully they help teach us where we can reduce our impact on the environment and inspire us to make a more conscious effort every day.
Are you game enough to share your footprint results here?
