The is a tool for helping us to visualize the impacts we make on the environment. For a brief overview of the concept, please watch this one-minute video prior to beginning work on this discussion. In this weeks class discussion, you will have the opportunity to learn more about how connected you are to the ecosystems and biosphere that you inhabit. Everyday choices can impact our environment; through those choices, we can either add to our environmental impact, or reduce it. In a course-long project beginning this week, you will take on the challenge of lessening your impacts on the environment, through reducing the size of your ecological footprint. Specifically, you will identify possible lifestyle changes that would reduce the amount of resources you use and/or the amount of carbon dioxide emissions that you produce. In a course-long experiment, you will determine whether or not it is possible to make a measurable difference in your environmental impact through a few simple actions in your daily life. The first step, of course, is to determine your eco
logical footprint right now. To do that, you will calculate three footprints: an overall ecological footprint that takes most of our daily behaviors into consideration; a that focuses on our daily carbon emissions that are contributing to global climate change; and a that assesses daily water use. Use the footprint tool from the web page to calculate your ecological footprint. At every opportunity, please select the add details to improve accuracy option. At the end of the footprint activity, . Then click on see details to obtain the following information: Next, use the to calculate your household carbon emissions footprint. After answering all the questions: Finally, use to calculate your daily water footprint. After answering all the questions: Your discussion should include all the information you gathered about your consumption habits from your three footprint calculations, including all numbers with units. Then, examine the numerical results of your three footprint calculations by answering the following questions: Purchase the answer to view it
