Environmental Footprint.....

As part of ACS(alliance of concerned students), I've had the opportunity to meet great environmentalist whom have shown me different ways to save energy and reduce my CO2 used together with the reduction of my footprint. When I arrived at the website that determines my footprint, the realization that I made was that although I live an environmental friendly existence there are things that I still am able to do in order to further benefit the environment. For example I can reduce the amount of meat consume daily in my household. Unfortunately, one can say that I am carnivore, something I am not proud of but sadly true.

While I save lots by recycling and walking, there is a big contradiction in that I drink either five to six bottles of water. Thus wasting an abysmal amount of plastic so I've decided to buy a tin water bottle and start buying water gallons or buying a water filter. If all six something billion people in the World took the time together with care to make less of a harmful impact in the world we all would have a great Earth. But the truth is that is unrealistic, but me making a change is attainable. I will keep on evolving my lifestyle to accomodate our environment.
