Human Footprint



Human Footprint Consumption
I finished and recorded my results at National Geographic Human Footprint Calculator and I was pretty surprised of my results from the very beginning.I would like to see how your reaction is when you see your very own outcomes at the end.These are mine. 

Lifetime Average
Egg Eaten:20,215
Newspapers Read:8,086
Milk Drank:24,258
How many miles I drive:270,265
Bananas Eaten:16,172
Soda Drank:12,129
Showers Taken:36,387
Potatoes Eaten:16,172
Diapers that Babies Use:4,380
Slices of Bread:2,190

These numbers surprised me because in my life I didn't expect to waste all the water I use everyday just to cleanse myself.It makes me think about every minute I spend in the shower I use 2 liters of water and I spend an average of 15-20 minutes per day.I would like to try and decrease the miles I drive everyday and think about a better route to get to school or somewhere else.I would like to extend my thoughts about these little things that affect our world and try to make a difference in my daily life.
