Footprints in science!

Sustainability means, a person that can last for a long to or period. A way that I can lessen my footprint is by  eating foods that are sold locally and not eating foods that are from other countries like Brazil for fruit and Argentina for Coffee, another way i can lessen my footprint i could not use the car for short distance trips i could ride my bike or walk to that place. A human footprint is, a impact that you have on the earth. I think that the video was trying to make people stop using so much stuff that they dont need to do like eating food from other countries and using a bike and not a car. They were trying to reduce pollution and the amount of gas that is used for no reason.

A ecological footprint is a tool used to measure and understand how much nature we have and how much nature we use. Earth has a lot to do with our footprint, It could make electricity go away which means no TV, Facebook and no cell phones, if we dont eat local food and only food from out of the country we would lose the food in our country, If we dont take care of out garbage like recycling it then all the garbage would pollute our water and our whole earth, and finally if we dont take care of the amount of water we are using then it might all be gone because if you leave the water on while brushing your teeth you are wasting water, if you take really long showers just for the heck of it you are wasting water so we must look out and monitor the amount of water we use. Something that makes an Eco footprint is what your impact on the earth, like running the water when brushing your teeth another one is when you leave all the light on when you dont need it.

Our family footprint would be:

  • We turn off the light when not needed.
  • We dont leave the water running when brushing teeth nor taking a shower.
  • We also turn down heat during the night not to waste fuel.
  • We bring our own bags to the store so that we dont need to get new bags.
  • And some of our family member do flush the toilet which is saving water (SOFIA) 
  • We wish that Serbia and other countries would make it easier to recycle paper and plastic bags.
  • When going on short distance trips we use bikes or we walk when ever  possible.
