My Footprint


            As humans, our footprint can be described as the contributions we make to the earth. Some contributions are negative, some are positive. After completing the Footprint Calculator, I was given 4.2 Earths. I was surprised by this number because honestly, I thought I would have received more. I am actually benefitting the earth more than I thought I was. An area I saw where I could reduce my footprint was my air travel over the course of a year. I wouldn’t say I fly “a lot” but I fly 2-4 hours a year. Because I live in Florida, I could consider taking local vacations at places such as the beach or historic areas like St. Augustine. This change would reduce my air travel and ultimately reduce my footprint.
