As human beings alive on this earth, we all live different lifestyles and cycle through a different habits of food consumption, energy consumption, as well as waste production. As a student I live in small family housing with a relatively good sized yard for my parents to grow their own greens. The family living is extremely simple and only use what we need, and most of the waste we produce are often returned to nature with mum's mini worm farm and compost maker. All members of the family leave the house early as soon as sunrises, so consumption of electricity is often low, but as a result of living quite far from the city area, going to work or uni is a long drive or trek on public transport, which causes consumption of petrol and fuel quite high.
Although we are considered a low energy consumption family and keeping living at a minimal ecological consumption, the rest of the world in total are unaware they are living in a range of high ecological consumption and are contributing to a depletion of the earth's resources.
So what is your Ecological footprint?
