Ecological Lifestyle

I looked up my ecological footprint and I take up about 16.1 acres of Earth's productive area and 3.6 Earths. It looks like I can change this by eating less meat, taking the bus more often, and recycling more, even though my apartment complex doesn't have a recycling center. I'm going to work on finding somewhere nearby that I can recycle, having a salad for dinner, and seeing if there is any kind of bus transportation around me. I'll work on it and get back in 24hours.

So I finished my 24hours and I really did look around for somewhere to recycle but the closest are is about a 10 minute drive so I don't know if the gas I use driving makes up for the bottles I put into recycling. Also, there isn't a bus to take me to school and work. I would have to drive about the same amount of time it takes me to get to school to get to the bus stop, so I would effectively hurt the environment because I would be using the bus for no reason. In addition, I like meat and don't want to stop eating it. I already eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and refuse to supplement my meals with tofu instead of chicken. Overall I don't think I am destroying the planet because I try to be very ecologically sound in my decisions, from the car I bought to the food I eat. I did turn off my air conditioning and open the windows but I don't think that will be possible come April.
