Ecological Footprint

In order to support my life style it would take 5.2 earths for me to live and I would be taking up 23.3 global acres of earths productive area.  A footprint you leave on earth is how we can indicate how many resources we use in our life time. Much of the resources we use in our footprint are raw and natural resources. This means that most of the resources we use can not replace. Also the more we use these resources the less we will have later and the more we do not recycle the worse shape our planet will be in for the generations to come. I know that I could probably recycle more. I do recycle when I am around school or places that have recycling bins. However at home I do not recycle at all. But, I do reuse water bottles I also do not use paper or styrofoam plates. Another thing I could try to be better at is turning things off when I am not using them or not in the room. Other than those things I would have to say I am environmentally friendly.
