When I took the Footprint Calculator/Quiz it turned out that I would consume 4.2 Earth's just for my necessities. So for 24 hours to reduce my ecological footprint I didn't eat meat, because meat is a food that I eat almost everyday. Whether it is pork, beef, chicken, or fish. I'm not sure if being a vegan would be cheaper than actually eating meat. Because organic foods, or foods to replace meat is very costly. So I didn't eat any meat at Argos or Andros.
Another thing I changed about my life style at USF was not taking the Bull Runner. Instead I just woke up earlier and walked to my classes. It wasn't any trouble at all besides the cold weather. So with that I decreased my ecological footprint by decreasing the use of pollution. I also reused my water bottle instead of throwing it away and getting another one. So with that I saved more resources, and that saved a bit of money, because I didn't have to buy a new water bottle. I don't drive at all here on campus, so decreasing the use of driving is pointless.
By the end of the day I noticed it wasn't much trouble cto any of these things, except for not eating meat. I have to eat meat it's a MUST in my daily meal. But other than that I was alright with these changes.
