Ecological Footprint Activity

Ecological footprint activity

Bleketskolan Sweden

This activity was done by 24 students of a class 9 in our school. All the students made their own ecological footprint quiz. An average of the ecological footprint was calculated.

Our average 2,7 earths!!! Some of us had up to 4 earths and some of us as low as 1,7 earths!!

We think our biggest problems are:

Eating the wrong kind of food

Using too much energy in transportation and in our homes.

Consuming too much electronic equipment.
