Ecological Footprint

Our earth is suffering from Global Warming and I think I am also one reason for this. Every day each person is doing something to harm the environment. If we worked together we can make this stop. I calculated my Ecological footprint and how many earts would it take if everyone was like me. It takes 2.4 earths if everyone lived like me and my ecological footprint is 4.3 global hectares. I think I use the environment a lot and I need to improve. This is probably because I use a lot of goods and services. I usually come to school by bus everyday and I usually go out with my family on a car just on weekends. Maybe this is because I don't recycle a lot.
To make my footprint smaller I should recycle, try to walk or use buses instead of going in my dad's car. I will also try to produce less garbage. I don't think these things will affect the environment, if only I do it. but if every single person did this we could make a difference and make our earth a better place.
