=//**As Students How Can We Reduce Our Ecological FootPrint On Our Local Environment?**//=

//**By: Zachary Lee**//
How much of a ecological footprint do you leave behind? What does ecological foot print means you ask? Well its recycling really, you see when i mean how much of a ecological footprint do you leave behind. Its like a metaphor, take "FootPrint" as trash, garbage, and waste. Every time you leave your "Ecological FootPrint" your effecting the environment around you. Say if you buy bottled water and when your done with it you throw it away, it effects the environment bt filling up the land fill. Now to "Reduce" this buy a washalbe bottle and keep using it instaed of fill our land fill. Also Instead of being in the shower for one hour with the hot water running, be in tthere for at least 10-15 minites to save water instaed of wasting water. Lastly and the most known way of helping the Earth is by recycling also helps by reusing used items instead by just thorwing them away and filling the land fill.

In math class i recorded the amount and what kind of trash i have recycled in one week. I learned that i have recycled alot of trash in one week which means i do a pretty good job at recycling because i recycled nearly 50 something trash in one week. In Social Studies I learned how early man effected the environment. Believe it or not but early man had a huge effect by farming, burning, mining, and by going to the bathroom in random places. In science class i did a project about acid rain could affect plant growing. I learned that it could affect the plant by affecting its growth process.
