What's the Size of your Ecological Footprint?You might think that the amount of land you need only includes where you live, where you play, and where you go to school. But it really is much bigger, because it includes the land where the food you eat is grown, where your garbage goes, and much, much more.
Transportation:How did I travel today? Think about each time you went somewhere... Water Use:How much water did I use? Clothing:I am wearing: Play:In the sports and games I like to play, the equipment I need is: Food:When I eat a meal there is this much left on my plate: Lights:When my class leaves the classroom for recess or another activity we turn off the lights OR when I leave my room or house, we turn off all lights. Unfortunately, we all know that there is only one planet Earth! The average Canadian requires about THREE PLANET EARTHS. People who live in North America are using up more than our fair share of natural resources and space. |
