The Ecological Footprint Survey is a survey that measures human demand on Earth's ecosystems and the amount of natural capital used each year. When I started this project, I really didn't know what I was getting into, so I took the ecological footprint survey on footprintnetwork.org. When I saw my results, I was completely shocked. I was so disappointed in myself. I felt like I was killing this planet. The results I received scared me, because if there were more people like me, this planet probably wouldn't exist right now. My results showed that if more people were like me, we would need 4.2 planet Earths to provide enough resources. If I thought my results were bad, imagine people who would probably need 50 planet Earths to survive. According to my ecological footprint survey, the main thing that affects me is “services”, which are at 46%. This means I use a lot of appliances and waste too much gas. To reduce this, unplug items that are not in use, such as cell phone chargers and laptop chargers. Also, to reduce gas, carpooling would be an excellent alternative. The next thing I scored high in was goods and food. The percentage wasn't too high, but it was enough to make an impact. This ecological footprint is what will motivate me to reduce my energy consumption at home for this energy reduction project. Seeing the results of this ecological footprint helped me see that I am contributing to the deterioration of this planet and that I refuse to participate in this way. I will use the results of these footprints to leave a better footprint on this planet. I will travel the world and share my results so people know what we are doing to our home. I'm going to create a new imprint. A footprint that will change this planet forever. I'm determined to turn off the aquarium light during the day. Open the curtains during the day to benefit from natural sunlight. At the start of the Climate Change – Home Energy Consumption project, the electricity bill was $194.10 and the amount of KWH used was 1,665. When I first saw this, my first reaction was summer: “wow, I really need to reduce my energy consumption. My first course of action was to do the FPL Home survey. This survey was very helpful because it brought to my attention areas where my family and I are consuming way too much electricity. Some of these areas include cooling and heating, entertainment, water heating, laundry room, ceiling fans and lighting. These areas were places of high energy consumption because in my house everyone likes the temperature to be 72 degrees, but that's not possible. There is a fan in each room so there is no need to keep the air conditioning as cool. This was also part of my action plan. We turned the air conditioning up to 76 degrees. The entertainment area was difficult to implement because when it's not a television on, it's a radio and when it's not a radio, someone is playing a video game, and when it's not It's not a video game, someone is on the computer. I had to tell the family to turn off the television and
