According to the footprint calculator, if everyone lived like me, we would need 4.2 Earths and 18.6 global acres to sustain my lifestyle and provide enough resources for everyone. As I completed the quiz, I figured some simple behaviors that I could modify that would help decrease my footprint on the world. I learned that I should recycle more of my paper waste and bottles instead of using the trash. FGCU has a recycling trash for bottles and cans next to nearly every trash can. I would also like to decrease the amount of animal products I eat, maybe by half if I am adamant about it. If every American did decrease their consumption of animal products by half, we'd use 645 million fewer global acres. The max population that the earth could sustain if everyone lived like do is 1,750,000,000.
