Calculate your ecological footprint (not carbon footprint as previously stated) for the month based on what you do in a week. Use the footprint calculator described in Radical Simplicity, pages 94-122, along with the forms and tables supplied in the appendix. Read the pages about the calculator carefully as you go through and make calculations, because they tell you exactly what to do. Compose a 1-2 page writeup that:
1. Summarizes the results of your footprint calculations and compares them to the average American footprint (see page 93 in RS).
2. Briefly discusses those results; sets short, medium, and long term goals for lowering your score; and indicates how you plan to lower your footprint to meet your short term goal by the end of this quarter.
3. Includes your calculations and all tables/forms from RS that you used (these don't count towards your page total).
Due: Tuesday of week 4.
