"End"
My ecological footprint went from 5.2 to 5.0 planets, within twenty-four hours. I was more conscience about the amount of paper I used throughout the day. I also did not print as much information off the Internet, instead I read the information off the computer. I did not drink water or any other product out of plastic bottles, instead I used my own washable water bottles. I recycled a bunch of paper, which is of no use to me anymore. I reduced the amount of trash by using my own cups instead of plastic or styrofroam cups. In a lot ways it was more cost effective to live with a reduced ecological footprint, because I do not have to replace cups and plates. I also did not have to use more paper or ink during the twenty-four hours, so I saved money on having to buy ink sooner. I did not drive anywhere, so I saved money on gas and did not affect the environment. I did not change my eating habitws, because I like the food I eat. I believe it was one of the main reasons my ecological footprint was not reduced more.
