As I conducted my research on ecological footprint, I realized that my consumption way high than it should be. From the research, I realized that I require an approximate of 10 GHA to aid me in realizing what requires to be carried out to lead to a reduced footprint. Carrying out the assignment helped me to realize that I personally have a huge impact on the environment and the resultant effects of environmental degradation. The most shocking I learned through this project is the fact that consuming processed foods played a huge role in increasing my footprint. I will embrace using local foods and prepare my own meat and beer instead of buying the processed ones. The research made me believe that as humans, we should use more of the products based on animals instead of depending on the processed ones. To get the most suitable and accurate calculations, I will keep a close track of my usage of the meat and other locally produced products. The research made me think that we, as humans, are failing at protecting the environment. If we fail to be keen at protecting it, the earth will not b enough for us to live in.
