End: Reducing Ecological Footprint

My altered ecological footprint score decreased to 3.2. I do feel that an attempt to reduce waste is important to the world. I turned my TV off at night instead of leaving it on all night like I usually do. I also attempted to recycle more and eat less meat. Despite the lower score I received, I still feel I should keep living the way I am, maybe with some more recycling. Eating meat is important to my personal health and I, like everyone else, put my health first. Not only do I feel it is good for me, but I love to eat meat. Leaving my TV on all night is wasteful but I am never home during the day so my TV is ONLY on at night. I leave it on because of a fear of the dark and again, I put my self comfort first. I probably sound really selfish but that is what I learned from this assignment.
