Please read about Ecological Footprint. Click on this site, read the article  and calculate an ecological footprint for you and your family based upon your responses on these variables:

1.  Water Use

2.  Food

3.  Transportation

4.  Shelter

5.  Energy Use

6.  Clothing

7.  Stuff

8.  Fun

Calculate your total score and divide it by 100.  That will yield a ecological footprint measured in hectares.  The hectare is the principal metric unit of land measurement for most of the world.  1 hectare = 2.47 acres.

Write Journal #10 describing your ecological footprint based upon your lifestyle as measured by your scores on these 8 categories.  Compare your score to the average score for other countries.  Email your Journal #10 on ecological footprint by Friday, July 16 at 11:59 pm.
