If everyone lived like me, we would need 2.2 planet Earths to provide enough resources, as we can see below. An average person living in Ontario needs 3.58 planet Earths. I am really surprised by the result of my ecological footprint because I had no idea to what extent my habits consume so many natural resources. Additionally, I cultivate some green habits, such as living in a house that has replaced all lights with fluorescent bulbs to reduce carbon dioxide pollution, unplugging my appliances when not in use to save energy. energy and wash my dishes by hand instead of using the dishwasher to save water and energy, these actions are not enough to have a good footprint and I have so many things to do to 'improve. Here are three actions you could take to reduce my ecological footprint. First of all, in Brazil I traveled by car every day and, now living in Canada, I have the opportunity to greatly reduce the distance I currently travel by car. This action has a significant impact on our environment. According to Global Footprint Network (nd), “If every person living in Ontario cut the distance they drive in half, we would reduce our global ecological footprint by 27,774 hectares. This is equivalent to 38,899 football fields” (paragraph 5, footprint calculator section). Additionally, I need to reduce the amount of animal products I currently consume and replace it with meat-free meals. “If every person living in Ontario reduced the amount of animal products they consumed by half, we would reduce our ecological footprint by 5,600 global hectares. This is equivalent to 7,843 football fields” (Global Footprint Network, nd, para 5, footprint calculator section). Finally, the last action to reduce the environmental footprint is to take a local vacation...... middle of paper. ....innovation and technology to try to find replacement natural capital. Additionally, some countries are carrying out projects aimed at working on strong sustainability. According to An Oak in the Garden, “Bolivia, for example, led by indigenous president Evo Morales, recently passed a law for Mother Earth, effectively affirming the rights of nature “to exist, persist, maintain and to regenerate its vital cycles, its structure”. , functions and its evolving processes. Implicit in these rights is the idea that the Earth is a living, self-organizing entity that has rights equal to or greater than those of human beings, who are only one species in the entire community of life . , this involves a huge movement in monetary qualities and needs where human and non-human flourishing are recognized as the true goal of financial action..
