Current Eco-Footprint
Beginning of the quarter footprint
I recalculated my ecological footprint to see if I had improved my footprint at all. I was able to improve slightly which was promising considering my goals were not anything too drastic. One of my goals was to bus to school once a week which ended up not proving viable with my soccer and work schedule. I ended up transitioning to carpooling with my roommates instead of driving separately. Another goal I had was to reduce my purchase of nut milk/nut products as well as processed foods. I ended up completely cutting my consumption of nuts and nut milks which I felt good about. I also made a conscious effort to make sure I was primarily buying unprocessed foods. I updated my goals halfway through and decided not to buy drinks unless I had my own to-go cup. I was able to do this and now am in the habit of always carrying my reusable cup. The last updated goal I had was to stop using paper napkins and only use reusable ones. I was able to accomplish this at home but not when I was traveling.
I think that overall I was able to achieve most of my goals. My goals also transitioned into habits which I am happy about since I will be able to continue them. I think I still have obvious room for improvement but I am consciously making efforts and changes in my life which does feel good. I even made new goals to continue finding ways to be more sustainable. I want to transition to eco friendly detergent as well as cleaning supplies.
