Personal Ecological Footprint Analysis
A personal ecological footprint is measured by the number of natural resources an individual uses. After taking a ecological footprint quiz, I learned that it would take 4.5 earths to support me and my daily useage. The quiz breaks down you usage by five categories. These categories include food, shelter, mobility, goods and service. In order of greatest usage to least, my categories were in the following order: services, food, shelter, goods and mobility.
Services and goods can be defined as things that you have. TV’s, computers, electronics, etc. are goods and services. Shelter is defined as not only as you living quarters, but also how do you heat and how much electricity you use. What kind of material is the dwelling made up of.
