Some interesting things that we were able to talk about today in class was the ecological footprint. This is what resources we consume to make our lifestyle. Fossil energy consumption, our environment, the food we eat, and forest products are all something that make up our ecological footprint. The activity we did figuring out how many earths it is for one person to live was very cool. It would take around 7 earths for one person to live because of all the resources we consume. As Americans we don't think about how much we take things for granted and how we are slowly destroying our earth as it is. The fact that a lot of people don't save their money is really causing them an economic downfall for when they get older due to being so far in dept. I think that every person including myself need to realize that we are slowly destroying our earth and we need to do something about it because sooner or later there won't be time for this.
