After doing the footprint quiz, I compared it to a theoretical person who is less sustainable than me.  My own ecological footprint was 6.1 global hectares, with a 7.5 Canadian football fields used as an equivalent. As well, the distribution of my consumption in the pie chart was pretty even, with the biggest contributor from “services” portion, and second most from shelter, possibly because I don’t use many energy conserving light-bulbs.  My second time on the quiz yielded different results. After changing car use to more frequent, and spending more monthly on electricity and water utilities, my ecological footprint was 8.3 and I consumed 10.1 hectares worth, with my biggest consumption coming from “shelter” according to the pie chart. One suggestion to reduce my ecological footprint was to use public transportation. The change from being less sustainable was probably due to me using much more electricity and driving very far on my own each week.
