Carbon Footprint!







Analysis:

Strengths and Weaknesses

To start of this post, I'd like to present my weakness in accordance to the carbon footprint quiz I took quite a while ago. Although aware of the goods, house/food habits, I am oblivious of the damage I'm apparently causing towards our planet. In reference to the above graphs from the carbon footprint website, you could see that my weaknesses match those of and some higher than the country average - changes need to be made, healthier habits need to be taken into action/consideration.

For the past two years, I haven't been a part of the urban hubbub as much as some people are - I instead, walk to places I want to go, and avoid from riding carbon emitting vehicles. Compared to the country average, I'm doing pretty well.

Reflection:
In past classes and schools, I've done such quizzes and have "unknowingly" been monitoring my carbon emitting habits/stats. I believe such quizzes are very helpful in raising awareness of how we as individuals are affecting our only home.
