my experience with the environment

my initial carbon footprint consisted of 3.3 earths, and 16.4 acres of land.

My 24 hours of lowering my carbon footprint was not difficult, because, i dont have a car and i never ride a bus, i walk everywhere. I am already a recycling fiend and i never buy anything, because i am on a college income which is zero. I never use paper, and when i do its in a notebook, and i always recycle when im done.

The only thing I dont have control over, which is the only thing that i really had to work on was my living space and how it is conducted. I live in a dorm with 7 other girls, and its really hard to not have someone running water 24/7 or having a light on 24/7. My contribution to lowering my carbon footprint was that i replaced some of the light bulbs in my room with environmental safe bulbs that i had bought before i moved here.

I think the environment is very important, and should be taken care of. Walking is not that bad of a thing people! it is not necessary to drive to your mailbox, or to drive to your class if you live on campus! saving out environment is more important than you being a little worn out.

after 24 hours my footprint was 3.2 earth and 15.7 acres of land, i am assuming that is not too bad considering the fact that the only thing they told me to work on was my housing and water usage.
