HOW BIG IS YOUR FOOTPRINT?


ShareThis


Ten years ago, you rarely heard anything about carbon offsetting or reducing ones carbon footprint.  At the risk of sounding ‘preachy’, I am sorting through our own actions on how to improve how we live and was shocked at how badly we are really doing.  Simply put, we are now painfully aware, thanks to some great filmmakers and our own eyes being opened, that we are doing our very best every day to ruin our planet.  Not intentionally, of course, but as a result of choices.  We often chose food in prepackaged containers for convenience at the grocery store, its easier, its pre-washed, I do this all the time. We opt to drive places rather than take other means of transportation, all for convenience.  It is frankly embarrassing when you think that even though we recycle and are eco-conscious people, we are a wasteful group.

Our responsibility has increased to be better shepherds of our environment, because we know now what we are doing.  Take this simple quiz sponsored by the Nature Conservancy, and see where you stack up.  It is shocking, but a real eye opener!
