Over the past week, I have been helping the Center to research a list of websites on the internet about sustainability and "going green." Throughout my online searches I came across this ecological footprint quiz.
I try my best to live and make decisions that are environmentally friendly. I am a vegetarian and live in a small studio apartment. I try to buy mostly organic foods that are packaged in recycled materials. I just changed my light bulbs to the compact fluorescents, I recycle, and I walk when I can. Through all of my efforts, the quiz revealed to me that if everyone in the world lived like I do, we would need two planets to have enough resources to keep up!
This reminds me how important it is to practice "Leaving No Trace" from beyond just the backcountry. Every small thing that we can do to minimize our impact on the environment can and will make a difference. I encourage you to take this quiz and see if your results surprise you, and learn more about what you can do to "Leave No Trace".
