This semester has started out really well. We have been discussing the sustainable ethic and its implications for the future of the earth. I know sometimes these things seem so far removed from you personally so..... I want you to return to my website amoalf.com and go to notes and assignments. Find your class and scroll down until you ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT and click on it. Take the quiz you find there and post your score along with any recommendations it makes back here on the blog. In your response discuss WHY you think you think you received the score you did. Base your answer on things we have discussed in class or just ask a question that you have had. After posting your ideas please respond to two other posts you have read with a question or comment. I am looking forward to reading your ideas.

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 1415 Newer› Newest»If everyone on earth was just like me it would take at or around 5.4 Earth's to sustain us. I was not fully aware of how oblivious I was to this subject until now. Just to support my lifestyle, I would take up about 26 acres of Earth's productive area.
If we reduced the amount of animal products we eat by half, then we would 645 million less of global acres. I personally will try to eat less animal produce this year.
I agree with Jeffrey, I think I will ride my bike and walk more to get around instead of just hopping in the car.
I also agree with Abby Harris. The idea of becoming a more sustainable person is a great one, but it is harder than it sounds.
Kekey,
You are correct when you say it is hard to be more sustainable but just one small change can make a bid difference if everyone does it!!!

Ms. Stripling
It would take 3.8 earths and 17 global acres to keep up the world if everyone lived exactly like me. After reading many of these comments this is a fair amount compared to others. I would like to know how long it would take everyone to completely use up all of the resources if everyone lived exactly like I do. It's important to take care of the Earth, but I'm not going to be cliché and say "Oh, I'm going to do better." because the chances are that I will not. On a second thought the earth needs to be taken care of by everyone including myself, and I can promise to try to reduce my habit of taking advantage of the planet.
Chris Cole I believe that it is not about money but about what you buy with that money and how you dispose of the waste. If it is plastic or paper it can usually be recycled.
Blake Suttles I agree that God has given us animals and plants to consume for our survival and pleasure, but Adam, Eve, and all of the animals were originally vegetarian. We would not have too many animals. If we were to not raise animals specifically for food we would actually run out of animals to consume.
Great points Amber. The earth was created and would have sustained us except for humankind's sin. The whole creation was cursed because of Adam and Eve's sinfulness. Of course we weren't even given the animals as food until God made the Noahic covenant after the flood (Gen 9:3). It would take up less of earth's acres if everyone was vegetarian. I just wish vegetables tasted more meaty!
Wesley Johnson
It would take 6.1 earths and 27 global acres to take care of me. Now that's a lot, if I didn't eat as much processed food as I do and try to eat locally that would save tons of land and save more food.
Amber Nix I agree with you that it is NOT all about money, if we can keep cost down that would save half the trouble.
Mrs. Stripling, I also agree that one change could change a WHOLE lot, but if we all pitch in together for one small thing each, we could make a huge change.
My score was 4 earths. More than one earth is way to many. We only have one and we need to take better care of it because we to my knowledge don't have any other plausible locations.
Wesley, i agree that not eating so many processed foods is a good idea. tho you still have to think that where the local food you are talking about still comes from somewhere.
Amber,to be honest we are to fart into it to actually be able to fix our earth. and not everyone is going to comply with our efforts to try and save whats left. but the best we can do is try.
It took 4.3 earths and 20.2 global acres to support me. It seems likes that's okay looking at everyone else's. So I think it would be good to live like me.
Cody Bishop
It would take 6.2 earths in order for everyone to live like I do. I could change some of the things I do like throwing trash out the window. I could recycle and start caring about the earth. it takes 27.5 global acres of earth productive area to support my lifestyle.
Madison Brown
Zack Roberts.
I take up 4.9 earths and 21.6 global acres. I feel like if I stop eating meat every day and eat closer to home it would make earth better.
Wesley, I agree with you trying to eat locally.
Madison, I agree that we need to stop throwing trash out the window.
It would take 4.4 earths for people to live the way I live and it would take 19.4 global acres to support my lifestyle.
Keykey I agree with you about reducing the amount of animal products we eat by half I think that would help the earth a lot.
Wesley I agree that we should start eating more locally.
If everyone lived like me it would take 5.3 earths to provide all my resources. It would take 23.5 global acres to hold all my resources. If I pledged to purchase products with less packaging, that alone would reduce the amount of earths to 4.8. I will try to purchase items with recycled materials instead. If everyone lived like me it probably wouldn't be a good thing because i love meat.
Ethan Ezell i agree with you because i see everyone saying their number of earths isn't bad compared to someone else's but the fact is, we only have one earth so anything above that is too high. In reality the earth is the only planet we have to live on so why trash it??
Mrs. Stripling i agree with you saying one small change is a big change if everyone does it. if everyone has the mind set that throwing one cup out the window won't matter, then imagine how many cups would be laying on the roads trashing our earth. but if everyone thought to throw one cup in the recycling bin, that saves so many cups from polluting us.
I have learned that it would take 4.7 earths to support me. However, what really got to me was the amount of carbon dioxide I would use, which was 21.7 tons. Now that sounds outrageous. What I would like to do that would possibly help our earth is setting up places to recycle, where I could just pick up items that places have recycled.
I agree with KeKe, I wasn't fully aware of the amount of poultry I ate, but now that I know I will keep that in mind.
I also agree with Wesley johnson, my number increased by a lot when I put the amount of processed food I put.What I have been learning and noticing is that if we actually ate more "natural foods". Such as; natural grown fruits and vegetables, raised chicken with out steroids, and just atleast recycling at least one product.
it would take about 1.8 earths to sustain me. The biggest problem I have is that I usually purchase packaged foods. I walk everywhere, I rarely ride in a car. If I were to try for more locally grown foods, I am sure that I could further cut back my number.
Haley,
I whole-heartedly agree with your comment about people throwing trash out. If people only realized that most people think just like that, we would have a lot less litter on the roads.
Maria,
I agree that using more recycled materials would be beneficial to all of us.
It would take 4.2 planet earths to support everyone if they lived like me. 18.8 global acres would be used. I think this is a good thing.
Cody bishop
Haley,
So if I recycle more id be like you.
Zack,
You need to live like me.
Cody Bishop
if you lived like me it would probably not be good. we would need 5-7 plants to live and 25.3 global Acres for the productive area.
Austin Bullock
Cody Bishop
You look like you live some what of a goof life style but still not great.
Macy McFalls
You have a good life style I am guessing.
By Austin Bullock
Test
To live like me, it'd take 4.2 Earths to sustain my lifestyle. With all the meat I consume and electricity I use, I'd also need 18.7 global acres of space to live the way I would.
It would take 3.8 earths and 17.1 global earths to live like me. Which seems ok compared to others test.
Wesley Johnson, you're right. If ate more local food we could help the earth.
Cody Bishop, we could always do something to help the earth.
Morgan Loggans
It would take 4.6 planet earths and 20.3 global acres to take care of everyone if everyone lived like me. I believe that if I ate lee meat and tried to go less places in the car then the world would be a better place.
I agree with Mrs. stripling if I was to use less electricity and eat less meat then it would take less planet to take care of everyone if they were like but I also agree with Haley if we would stop trashing our earth by throwing stuff out of our window then we would cut down on a lot a damage.
Kobe Shaw
I believe I should reconsider how much trash I produce and how much gas I waste on a weekly basis.
Kobe Shaw
Cody Bishop you are right.
Kobe Shaw,
Austin Bullock sounds like you need to get your life together.
Kobe Shaw,
Austin Bullock sounds like you need to get your life together.
It would take 5 earths and 22.1 global acres to support everyone if they all lived like me. I think I would eat less meat and walk more instead of riding everywhere. Then it would take less earth to support me. I wasn't really shocked that it took a lot of earths to support me. I'm sure that if I start recycling, walking, and eating less meat that the number of earths will go down.
Kasey Bishop
Arleth says,
About 5.3 earths, and 23.7 global acres would be needed to provide me the lifestyle I am living right now. A way I could help would be to install solar panels to provide electricity to my home.
Arleth,
Do you really think at this time in your life you will be installing solar panels? what is something a little simpler you could do to make a small difference?
Ms. Stripling
If everybody on earth was like me it would take 5.8 Earths and 25.8 global acres to sustain you. Most of this come from the food I eat and my mobile transportation. I can change that by eating locally grown food and riding a bike or riding with people. Hannah Copeland
i had 6.6 planets and had 29.3 my name is anthony dupree i could reduce this number by starting to recycle more and turn off all the lights when your not around.
I had a score of 3.2 i i need to car pull more
I used 6.1 earths but I don't really think I can reduce it because I love my food and stuff....... I know its kinda selfish but hey thats life
Sincerly Ms. Daniels Environmental Science Student
I was very shocked to see that it will take 5.3 planets if anyone lived like me. It would also take 23.7 acres of Earth's productive area. I realized that I have to change my lifestyle. I would have to cut down on all of the meat that I eat, but it would be hard considering the fact that I work at Wendy's. I should also make sure that I turn off the ceiling fan in my room when i am sleep. I should also start recycling because I drink a lot of bottled drinks.
Hey my name Mia my score was 4.5 my way for making it better is by recycling and making my own gardening.
My name is Mike , it would take 5.6 Earths to provide enough resources if everyone lived like me. I feel like if i recycle more and become less dependable on electricity, i can reduce this score.
But I also can start recycling, also I can start to get more local food, or even grow my own goods.
Apparently it takes me 4.7 Earths to provide enough resources for just myself. Mostly was directed towards my energy usage. I cut lights on sometimes and leave them on because i forget. I can cut the lights off whenever i leave a room or i can just stay away from my house all day and i wouldn't have to worry about making my mom pay a high light bill.
whats up my name is Casper W , and my ecological grade was 5.2.
I can reduce my waste by using less energy and eating healthy.
Im Dallas from Louisiana
My Teacher is Ms. Daniels
it takes me 7.3 Earths to sustain life.
a way i can reduce this is i can eat healthier. I usually go get my food from Walmart but but i guess i can go to the fruit stand even though they fruits be old and rotten. i guess i'll have to eat it. I can also turn of my lights and tv at night.
Well if everyone lived the way i do, we will need 5 earths to survive. To reduces that from happening, I will have to limit the meat i eat every and starting eating more vegetables. I have to make sure to turn off all electricity before leaving my wonderful home and get out more to stop from using as much electricity. I can ride bikes more then using the car, that stop from using gas.
i meant off**
my score was 5 earths.i think that i can reduce my score by use less electricity.i also think that i can reduce my score even more by recycling all trash that i make.
hi you guys my name is Lauryn and my teacher is mrs.daniels and i did the ecological footprint test and my results were that i needed 5.5 planents. Its kinda open my eyes and made me realized how wasteful i am with the things around me, so it made me think when i get home after leaving the room i turn off the lights and air conditioning , and turn off the tv when its needed, because its a time to make a CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My score was 4.2 earths. Don't know if that's good or bad. Probably got it from how much power I need to live and using to much services. I could lower it if I turn out my ceiling fan when I leave my room and use a window during the day. And maybe wait one year before buying an Xbox One.

Hi Everyone,
My name is Debbie Ezell and I am Mrs. Daniels mother. I teach science at Chesnee High school and I appreciate all the hard work you have done to respond here. This may be the first time you have ever had to examine the way you live and how that impacts the Earth. Even if you think you cannot make a change in your lifestyle if many people make tiny changes then overall you have a great big change. My students will be blogging here in a week or two so I hope some of you respond to what they have to say!!!
Hope to talk soon,
Ms. Ezell
Beyoncé is life....I do not understand your post...help me!!!
Dallas,
I hope all the fruits at the fruit stand are not old and rotten. If they are make pie!! Remember buying locally helps everyone in your area.
Ms Ezell
To Ms. Daniels class....
Think about this:
Why would it be better for the Earth to eat less meat.
Hint: Don't feed your food
Ms. Ezell

I scored 4 earths and 17.7 global acres. I could do more to help the earth like pick up the trash and put it in the necessary container.(recycle) I will walk more than i will drive.

Hi my name is Brian P. and my scare was 4.8 and that in going to eat health and save more energy.
my score was 4.8 planets . most of the resources are used in the service category. while taking this quiz i realize that i should recycle more .
jericho 3.4 earths i should recycle more and stop using electricity as much open more windows and eat more fruit.

from what i have learned it is going to take 3.9 Earths to support my living style. I could lessen it by recycling more and also eat less poultry

Jericho,
I am glad to see your post. Do you know why it would be better to eat more vegetables rather than meat?
Ms. Ezell
If everybody had to live in my world it would take 6.7 planet earths 29.6 Global acres, 36.6 tons of carbon dioxide.Now i know that i need to conserve my resources. I could stop buying packaging and then throwing away my boxes.turn off lights when i leave the room, turn off the water when not using it. But i think we should be more aware the way we live!
Landon,
I just had to say that you must have the greatest name ever!! It took me 5 minutes to realize it was not London Bridgewater. I know you get this all the time. Great comment!!
Ms. Ezell
When I started to take the Footprint Quiz, I thought that I was living a sustainable lifestyle. After taking the quiz and seeing my results, I realized that I do not live a sustainable lifestyle. I would take almost 8 earths if everyone lived the way I do. Food and mobility are where the quiz said that the earth is impacted more of in my life. It takes 32.6 acres of the Earth's productive area to support my lifestyle. I realize that I need to change my habits to help sustain the Earth.
Aly grats foe being the first to post. Of the two things you mentioned food or mobility which might becthe easiest to make a small change in?
I can't believe it would take 7.1 earths if everyone lived like I do. That is crazy, and I also need to change my viewing of the earth. It would also take 31.8 global acres to support my lifestyle. I can't believe that I hurting the earth, so I really need to change everything I do to save the earth.
I could make a change by car pulling with friends
Morgan, it's crazy when you realize how badly you can impact the earth! What could you do to live a more sustainable lifestyle
After taking the quiz it said that there would need to be 4-5 planets if everyone lived like me. I don't recycle a lot unless I'm at school and just happen to think about it and throw it in the recycling bin to be honest. I know I should take it more seriously and recycle more. it takes 20.2 global acres to support my lifestyle, I think that's crazy. I'm not going to stop eating the things that I like, like chicken & beef & all that. I like my lifestyle an I do think I should recycle more and all that but I don't think I should drastically have to change my lifestyle, just recycle more.
-Tristen (:
If everyone lived the way I need it would take 3.6 earths and 24.8 global acres of land. Things I could change and that has a big impact on the way I live is electricity. Instead of me using it on the things I want for example games systems,Phone Chargers when I ain't using them, and lambs. I should just use it on things that I need. Another thing is I eat a lot of meat and chicken and I could slow down and when I do eat it not buy it from stores like bilo. Also when I drive see if my friend want to carpool to not cause so much pollution. Last but not least I should recycle things that are recyclable like paper, plastic,etc. I believe I should think more about the earth then for myself and the things that I WANT!!! and make earth a better place.
-CJ Tucker
I agree with Tristen Tucker about the recycling part because that could have a huge impact on everyone's life because if we did that it would decrease the amount of plastic and trash being put in the ocean and killing animals.
-CJ Tucker
I agree with Landon Bridgewater it everyone lived a more sustainable life the world would be a better place!
-CJ Tucker
If everyone lived me, it would take 5 earths to provide enough resources. To support my lifestyle, it would take 22.4 earths to do so. My top 3 was resources, shelter and food. I understand that air conditioning and heat are luxuries considering other countries don't have it, and that's where most of my burden to the earth occurs. I could probably learn to not make it as hot or as warm in my house to reduce that.
I agree with Aly. Carpooling with friends is a great idea. Whenever Aly and I ride together somewhere, we almost never drive separate
I agree with Cj as well. I could better myself by recycling more to sustain our resources and earth.
Emilee,
I wish I could carpool. Every time I ask people they look at me like I am a little crazy...do you think nobody likes me? it is so sad....
Ms. EZell
It would take me 5.8 earths to provide enough resources if everyone lived like I do. We would take up 25.6 global acres of earth's productive area. I can change so many things from my lifestyle like recycling at home because I don't recycle unless I'm at school. I could also ride with my brother to school sometimes vice versa so there wouldn't be so much gas wasted or pollution. Also, I need to start turning out lights more often & turning my tv off instead of leaving it on all night when I'm asleep to stop wasting electricity. Recycling, carpooling & saving electricity is how I personally can help sustain the earth.
Rachel Edge
Apparently it'll take 4.5 earths, and 19.9 global acres to provide enough resources if everyone was too live like me. But everyone doesn't live like me everyone lives somewhat different so why should I change my lifestyle if everyone didn't live like me?
It would take 5.3 earths and 23.7 global acres for everyone to live like me. I could recycle more and try to stay off the roads as much and eat way healthier. I agree with Rachel about turning the lights off because I do forget a lot and also I agree with CJ about recycling. It would help everyone out.
Tori Lee
It would take 4.7 earths to leave like me 20.7 global acres for everyone to live like me.... I also agree with Tori when she has said her problem is turning off the lights, because I also have that problem plus I often sleep with the T.V on which is using a lot of power.... I agree with CJ about recycling because I never get the chance to at my house because even if I was to try everyone else would look at me like a big waste of time but I do recycle as often as I can when I'm at school.... also agree with you Mrs. Stripling every time I ask someone if we can just ride together because we are going to the same place they just look at me like I'm crazy and we end up having to take two cars to the same place which is ridiculous if you ask me.
~Brianna.
I agree with Tori, I need to stay off the roads too. & I agree with Boba too, why should I really even change my lifestyle when nobody else is living the same ways ..
I can carpool and go to the market to get fresh fruit and vegetables.
CJ, I agree with you on everything you said I want go do that too. I want to make the earth a better place.
it would take 6.1 earths to support my lifestyle. thats pathetic and I'm super glad everyone doesnt live like me. I've started recycling so hopefully that will help a little but I'm not sure i could give up my meat and i live too far from anywhere to walk and other peoples driving scares me.
-mary yelton
I'm like tori and brianna, i always forget to turn off my lights!
boba fett most people live worse (like me) so if we all take your comment and live by it then the world will fall apart very soon. goodluck with that. and also mine took 27.2 acres.
After I took my Footprint Calculator test, I have found out that it would take 2.5 Earth's to support my lifestyle if everyone on the earth lived like me. I actually try hard to live life the healthiest way possible for myself as well as the planet by saving resources. I have found out that I could still make improvements in my life as well as help make improvements to the other people around me to keep the earth thriving, resourceful, and prevent further pollution to the planet.
~Elisabeth
I completely agree with Rachel by trying to start making improvements on life to help sustain the earth.
~Elisabeth
I need to do better also because I waste electricity sometimes also by using it when I don't need it. It can slowly use a lot of energy by not turning out lights, playing games, using cell phones a lot, and then having to charge those devices you were previously using.
~Elisabeth
People of good character do the right thing even if noone else does because they can. you cannot force yourself to feel something you just dont feel but you can make yourself do the right thing in spite of how you feel.
So when I took the quiz it said it'd take 5.9 earths to provide enough resources if everyone lived like me. I don't think I should have to make any drastic changes to my life to have a more sustainable planet. I think if I just recycled and car pool and cut back on the amount of meats and packaged foods I eat then maybe the earth would be a more sustainable living area. Then their wouldn't be as much waste on the planet because it can only take one person to make one big change.
~Estrella Soto
I used 6.3 earths and 28.1 global acres. My three biggest things when the footprint was broken down were goods, services, and food and my two smallest things were transportation and shelter. I think that I should find a better ways to reduce my intake on goods and services
I agree with Tristen about recycling more. If everyone would just recycle then the earth would be way more sustainable.!
-Estrella Soto
I agree with Tristen about recycling more. If everyone would just recycle then the earth would be way more sustainable.!
-Estrella Soto
I agree with Elisabeth. We need to keep improving our lifestyle everyday to create a healthier planet and also to prevent as much pollution in our world as possible
-Estrella Soto
It takes me 7 planet earths to provide enough resources if everyone lived like me. And it takes 31.2 global acres of earths productive area to support my lifestyle.
I agree with katelyn I think I should also find a better way to reduce my intake on goods and services
I agree with Deborah stripling that I could still make improvements in my life as well as help make improvements to the other people around me to keep the earth thriving, resourceful, and prevent further pollution to the planet.
After completing my EcoFootprint quiz I was shocked that it takes 3.7 earths and 16.6 global acres to sustain my lifestyle. Perhaps I could start buying locally grown products as well as recycle more than I do to help benefit my score and the planet.
@DaltonAkins A way that you could lower your score is recycling or cutting down on the amount of meat you consume.
It would take 5.5 earths if everybody lived like me to provide enough resources for everyone. To support my life style it takes 24.4 global acres on the earths productive area. I can see a lot of things I need to change to make this earth a better place such as buying more local produce, having less trash, and maybe walking places or riding my bike Instead of driving my truck. I'm glad everybody doesn't live like me this was a true eye opener.
David
It everyone lived like me it would take 4 earths and 17.9 global acres. I thank I could do better by using less services which is what it said I use the most of.
It would take 6.7 earths to provide enough resourses and 29.6 acres. There is so much things that we need to change to make this earth more livable. For example, use more public transpotations instead of driving cars all the time, and pollute the air more than it already is. Recycling is a big thing that needs to be improved.

If everyone lived like me it would take 5.3 earths. It would take 23.6 acres to provide for our needs/wants. I need to cut back on my driving and start walking a lot more
Yuli I agree with you. We need to start recycling more and not throwing old batteries just anywhere we like. We need to use our cars as less as possible.
I did the sustainable planet thingy and if everyone lived like I did it would take 4.5 earth's to keep everybody alive and it takes 22.3 acres of area just to keep me alive I think 👌👌
I did the sustainable planet thingy and if everyone lived like I did it would take 4.5 earth's to keep everybody alive and it takes 22.3 acres of area just to keep me alive I think 👌👌
Idk how to reply to other comments but I agree we should watch where we put things but we still need our cars to get around places imo
I think maybe if I didn't eat so much meat and dairy products mine might be a little better I'll give it a try for a while
It would take 6.3 earths for people to survive, if everyone lived the same way I do. and it also would take 28.8 global acres if every body live the same way I did.
I think I could drive less and eat less meat. I also could carpool with friends.
I also think that if I did the same it would have a positive outcome on the earth @nicholaskeller
@deborah stripling i like local produce and need to buy more. I could ride my bike more often whatever counts ill try it 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
We will need 4.7 planets if everyone lived like me
5 planets
I agree with yuli to we need to recycle more and stop throwing betters away and use less gas vehichels
If everyone lived like i did they would need 5.3 earths to provide enough resoures.

my score was 5.1 because i used to much thing as is energy . the one reason why its so high becasue i dont travel a couple mile each day for no reason and sometime i forget to cut off my tv , lights. ipad and so i might to cut back on some of these things . i will remember to turn off my lights,tv,ipad and travel less and sometime use less paper
Sustainable ethic mmmmmmmm good lol
It would take 4.4 earths for people to live the way i live

I will be telling other students about the use of plastic bottles and how it is destroying the world slowly. I will talk about the idea that the group has about how we could stop this and help the enviroment and their health
It would take 5.4 earths to have enough resources. The quiz suggests that I eat less produced food. But if we stop eating meat then the animal population might increase a little to fast. We could all start hunting our own meat and fish for our own fish meat. Also I notice I I need to recycle and reuse more of my energy instead of just wasting it. It's best to have farm produce food instead of industry produced foods to better our health and help the earth recover from the damage mankind has already cause due to the over use of our resources.
It would take 6.4 earth's to provide for me that's slot of earth and 28 global acres that's insane I would need to cut down on my meat ingestion and recycle a heck of slot more to cut down on my earth's and save it hahah
My eco footprint quiz results was i had to have 5.6 earths to sustain my lifestyle if everyone lived like i did. Thats crazy. I try to help the earth as much as i can and i still have to have over 5 earths to sustain me. I still cant believe it after 24 hours after i took the test. It would take near 20 acres just for the food i consume. Expecially seeing that i eat mostly meat and it takes a lot of plant life to feed them just so i can eat them after. I think i need to limit the amount of meat i eat in my daily diet and the amount of dairy i take in. I need to be able to help this earth live longer. Even though im just one person it could still make a very tiny difference. Its still better than not making a difference to the earth at all.
It would take 4.6 earth just to suit me. In other words I need to take a step back and think to myself. "Is this how I actually need to live?" No I don't need to live like this, I need to remember I only have one earth and I have got to make the best of it. We only have one earth and we need to take care of it. ��
@TaylorBradley- I agree with you. I think if I stoped driving & started walking more, the earth would be in better shape.
@YuliPlacecia- I agree with the recycling part, if we recycled more then we could save the planet and the animals.
If everyone lived like I did it would take 5-6 Earths and 25 acres of land to support my lifestyle. 58% of congressional Republicans refuse to accept the science of climate change(Thinkprogress.org). Most people have this conservative way of thinking because we don't feel that one person will make a difference or we just don't want to accept the fact that we are harming our planet. If we all did small things like car-pooling or having a more organic diet we could save a lot more land and food.
I agree with @Nick Keller, if we all ate less meat and dairy products and got our food from his grandpas produce stand our results may be higher.
@Trent Mayfield. I never thought to hunt for our own food but that would be better for people in rural areas, not people in crowded cities.
If everyone were to live the way i do it would take approximately 5.1 earths to sustain us all, also my lifestyle takes up 22.7 global acres of productive land. my main problems were foods, and services.

Wow Keon Mccalkum...you did some hardcore research and found an anti-conservative statistic on a super liberal blog(think progress). The founder worked for Nancy Pelosi for a while even. Never mind that at least one story by this credible organization had to be investigated and was found to have little basis in fact (according to the non political factcheck.org).
Just because a person doesn't fall down and worship at the altar of "climate change" as the all powerful deity, that doesn't mean someone won't conserve resources. As a Christian I don't mind saying I want to fulfill God's command to rule over the earth and subdue it. However I will not allow the earth to have dominion over me.
It says that it will take about 5 planets to sustain life if everyone lived the same way I did. It says that in my life, about 39% overall is just services alone. Then it says it takes about 22.3 acres to sustain my lifestyle. When it comes to mine I feel that what helped limit my footprint would be the fact that I recycle books all the time. I buy used books as much as possible and anytime I am finished with a book I recycle it or pass it on to someone else. I can not remember a single time I threw a book away. The next highest percent I had was food. That was 16%. I could possibly reduce my footprint by buying more natural products than the processed ones, and make sure my food is organic. Basically if I switched from Wal-Mart to Whole Foods I'll be good.

im james jones and if everyone lived like me we would need 5.3 earths to provide enough resources. To reduce the amount of resources we would need i would use less services and reduce the amount of energy i use.
Crandal Jackson
IT would take 4.3 earths if everyone lived the way that i did. i could do better by choosing different meals.

If everyone lived the way I do it would take 3.8 Earths. It was mostly the services and foods that took a lot of resources.
I need 5 planet earths and 22.3 global acres. I can reduce my ecological footprint by buying less clothes, eating less and using less energy.
-Daphney
After taking the quiz, it takes 3.7 planets to support me. My biggest ting was services. To help the planet more i would work less on my services and my needs for technology. i just cant believeit , it dont seem that much in reality
-Jasmine Hartford
If everyone lived the same lifestyle as me we would need 6.3 planet earths to provide enough resources. We would also need 28.2 global acres of the Earth's productive area. How I can lower the number of my results is to stop eating meat almost seven times out of the week into eating meat three times a week. Also, I can stop going in separate cars and tag along with my family members or a friend if we are going to the same destination.
@HaleyBishop I agree with you. buying things with less plastic on them can help with reducing the number of planets we use.
You should most definitely stop eating all that meat and and ride with others because 6.3 planets for mini jasmines is A LOT!! @jasminejohnson
My footprint grade said i would need three worlds. Their is only one.
To do better for the environment i can ride my bike or long board to reduce emissions. Another way is to use less power like turn off the TV and lights when not needed.
@JasmineHartford one thing you could do would be take the bus more often.
@jasmine johnson .. i agree with riding with a friend or family member to the same destination
i used 6.2 earths and 27.6 . To reduce the amount of resources we would need i would use less services and reduce the amount of energy i use. that would make the earth safer for all living things and future living things.
I've taken the test for my footprint. If everyone lived the way I did it would take 5.5 planets. The things I used the most were food and services. I can decrease my food percentage by buying more organic foods and eat less processed food. For services I could go to those services periodically or don't go to any at all.
JATASHA HARDY
when i took the test it said it would take 4.5 earths and 19.8 global acres to live.i think i could cut down on eating processed foods and walk more instead of driving place.
i agree with my test because my plants is 23-8 and my global footprint is 5-3 so all that is just what i eat everyday is a lot of fried things like chicken and things like that.
Mark Banks
^^^ 27.6 global acres
when i took the test it said it would take 4.5 earths and 19.8 global acres to live.i think i could cut down on eating processed foods and walk more instead of driving place.
@ShaneMonceux
That was what my two major ones were as well.
i think it would be good to cut down on driving alot @jasmine johnson
@jasminejohnson You could switch from processed meat to organic meat
@james jones. start leaving the light off when you not at home
you could eat healthier meats @jatasha hardy
@taylor i agree with your comment of saying how your footprint and how you gave good information on how u did it with your Global first, and your plants after so great job.
@Keyawna Jenkins-Jackson i agree with your post. and i also agree with abby and jeffery
@thomas lundberg i also agree with your ways to cut down.
@johnsonjuwan you could get your parents to switch to solar panels or just used them in the near future
@Skylar Roe, I would have probably decreased my ecological footprint if I had recycled, like, at all.
@Daphney Jackson, we could both reduce our footprint by getting our electricity through renewable resources
Carissa Delarosa: I will have to use 3.4 planets to support my exuberant lifestyle. To improve it I would have to cut back on my chicken intake and I would have to reduce the the amount of energy I would use daily.
My name is Naylor Cooper, and if everyone were to live as i do it would take 6.6 planets to provide enough resources. That is a lot of planets. I could cut this down by eating more organic foods and by using public transport.
@thomaslundberg you should eat more organic foods and stuff instead of processed foods
@Thomas Lundberg
I like the thought of eating less processed food.
@Jasmine Hartford i agree with you and how u did but most of all u should believe in the footprint
@Jasmine H. Wow, your results are not as bad as others but I understand we don't realize how much resources we use on a daily bases. It is definitely time for us to go
green and care about the planet more than what we are doing.
@Jacob - Yeah you are right we need to stop eating a lot of processed food and get more unprocessed
@justin
I totally agree with you; I have the same problem as well. I need to cut down on my daily intake of electricity an I do understand. You, and I as well, need to cut down on electricity to improve the number of planets we need to have to survive our lifestyle.
@tyler s I agree, lower electricity use could help save lots of resources.
@shelby i also agree with you. bike riding is an effective mode of transportation that cuts down on CO2 output.
@mia D
That seems like a sensible way to improve your planets. Garden to consume your own produce and recycle to improve your pollution conflict.
i got 4.5 planets enough to provide enough resources. the way i can improve on the way i can have more planets to supply enough resources is by recycling more and spending more money on stuff that are needed then are wanted
i got 4.5 planets enough to provide enough resources. the way i can improve on the way i can have more planets to supply enough resources is by recycling more and spending more money on stuff that are needed then are wanted
@carissa Delerosa i agree i would definately cut back on chicken
@daphney jackson i agree thomas should eat more organic foods because it is more healthier and most likely no diseases
I got 3 planets I could start recycling and turning off the water when I brush my teeth and turn off the lights when I leave a room
My ecological footprint said it would take 3.5 planets, if everyone lived how I do. I would take up at least 6.3 golbal hectares. My Earths would be the following: two of my earths or 37% of my footprint would be used on housing, one earth or 25% of my footprint on traveling, and the other half of the earth on shopping (9%), energy and water (8%), and food (20%). I belive that I can reduce my footprint by reducing my living space and only having things I need. Also by owning smaller vehicles because bigger cars use up more gasoline and releases more toxins in the air. Another way to help lower my footprint is by eating less meats for my meals. It will take time to make that change though because I am used to my way of living. Little by little I think I could make a difference.
Comments:
To @SkylarRoe: Processed foods maybe bad for the eviorment but are also cheaper because it takes less time, money, and work to give to the public. While organic food would be best for the environment and for your health, it is also bad for a person's wallet.
To @JasmineJohnson: It is a great idea to eat less meats during a week. Also tagging along with anyone if you all are going to the same destination is a great idea! It reduces so much pollution in our air.
