Final Exam

After my third update of my ecological footprint, it looks like I really did make a difference in my habits and lifestyle this quarter. I was a little concerned when I took my mid-quarter checkup, as I had gone from almost eight earths all the way down to a little over four in only a few weeks; Surely I had made a mistake or inadvertently changed some numbers.

However, on my third try, I confirmed that I really have made that big of an improvement, and am still consuming a little over four earths' worth of resources. This is by no means commendable in and of itself, but at least I'm moving in the right direction and not getting worse. I couldn't tell you any necessarily big steps that I've taken. It has been more a bunch of little changes that I've made across the board where I can, and it turned out to improve my footprint by nearly 50%.

Just goes to show you, little changes make big differences.
