a) i have 36 eco foot prints. I am an eco-apprentice.I have a long way to go. But i am still living to my greenest
b) recycle well, save electricity as much as possible, buy fresh foods, car pool whenever possible, avoid using the car to travel short distances, use more environmentally friendly products.
errr mr.seamus, i dont know why, but my name appears as "asd" im yuxu btw
a. I got 30 (:
b. I think basically at home i can start already. I usually on the fan instead of the air con in my room when
i am doing my homework. I turn off the bathroom lights after i take a shower.
I go to the garden for fresh air than
stay in front of my computer the whole day. I also throw all my bottles of water into this cute black trash can for plastics.I car pool. Like urh everyday. I use the same bottle of water for one day the whole day, just wash it and change water. If i am using my phone, i switch off my ipod to avoid wasting battery then i'd had to on the pc and charge it. urghh. I tend to sacrifice cool air and sweat while doing my work. rofhl. but it makes you more eager to finish it quickly which is a good thing. I cant list all. I can actually but then i've tried.(:
Peace&Love Guys.

b)Walk more instead of traveling via cars or buses.If you really need to, try and carpool
Stop wasting water and collect rainwater for watering plants or washing cars
If you need to charge an appliance, wait till it's battery is nearly dead because it would be wasting electricity charging something that has more than half of the battery left
When going shopping, bring recyclable bags to reduce plastic and paper usage
Re-use plastic or glass bottles to store other things or refill them up with boiled water again
Recycle newspaper by either using it again at home or sending it to the local recycling plant
Try not to use imported products and eat more locally grown food

myp7
a) 40 eco footprints
b) we should all use the 3 r's (reuse, reduce and recycle)
a brief description of Eco-footprints. (i think)
the world needs help from us and to start going green once more. But how do we know where we stand? How many footprints do we leave?And what is your damage??
The Eco-Footprint is about telling us all where we are and what more do we have to do to keep on ecologic help in the earth. By calculating each personality , they help bound them all to become a greener person and to hep more to the earth. For example , I calculated and had 53 footprints in the world and this is probably over a hundred, however , the other 47% is for me to accomplish. This tells me what to do in order to help save the world. Now I have to , use efficient fluorescent light bublbs and to avoid using plastic bags at stores because this causes pollution.
(To teacher : I am sorry if iam wrong about eco-footprints. I hadn't quite understood the whole point but I have found out some things (: .)
