So if everyone lived my lifestyle, we would require 3.12 Earths to survive. When I see this I am very surprised, I mean my family and I make a conscience effort to lower our ecological footprint, whether it be driving less, recycling glass and plastic, and even buying recycled clothes. If my ecological footprint is a surprising 3.12 I can't even believe what the footprint for people who live in the bay or major cities is like. I guess my family and I haven't been trying hard enough to lower our footprint. Of course looking back on it the constant driving back and forth from school probably doesn't help, given that I live about a mile away from Alta (that's way up in the hills for those of you who don't know). However, several friends and I are moving into a house which is much, much closer to school. We will also be carpooling more often. This will take at least two cars off the road, it's not much but it's a start.
