How Do I Affect The World
You may not realize it but the world is affected by most of the choices that we make on a daily basis. Should I walk or should I drive to the store? Should I buy locally grown food or food from a supermarket? What type of food should I eat (vegetables, beef, chicken, dairy)? What type of electricity should I use (solar, wind, etc...)? What type of a car should I drive (sports, economy, maybe I should just take the bus)? All of these decisions and many more affect the carbon footprint that we leave behind. Perhaps we are not worried about it now but how do the decisions that we make today affect the world tomorrow? Let’s imagine that everyone in the world lived the same way that I do. How many planets would it take to sustain my lifestyle here on Earth? Sadly enough it would take 4.6 planets to sustain my lifestyle.
