It has been a couple of weeks since I took the ecological foot print test. I have tried to change of couple of my behaviors in attempting to consume fewer resources. I must admit that it is pretty difficult. From taking shorter showers and using less air conditioning to using less electrical appliances in the house. The behavior has been a norm of mine for quite some time. Every time I am reminded of the suggested result of 6.5 planets need to sustain this behavior of a lifestyle I created. It seems as though ever phase of my life is involved with over consumption in some shape or form. I love food but it seems that my eating behavior can take a large reduction in consuming food. Not only would I retain a larger portion of my income in the long run but essentially I would be leaving more resources available for other much needier than myself. Another effort I have been making is less usage of my personal transportation in order to help conserve bio energy and create a reduced bio foot print as well. I guess adding this increased awareness and additional responsibilities should have been part of my behavior and lifestyle long ago. I do hope other become aware also so that we can all enjoy from each other contribution in the near future.
