2. The calculator was pretty interesting. It really showed how my home lacks in certain ways because it's old and isn't up to as energy efficient as it could be. In some ways it was accurate like in the waste and the household part. The transportation part was hard because we have 4 cars and I can't keep track of how much everyone in my house drives.
3. I think food waste might make it higher and shopping. Lower would probably be that I don't leave lights on all the time and I turn all of my stuff completely off if i'm not using it.
4. I think we could do that in America but a lot of corporations like making big money than they care about saving the planet. I think I could try and do that, it would mean cutting out fast food, excess packaging and reusing more things and not wasting food I make. I would start to recycle more.
5. I think it shows me more that I take a lot of things for granted and I never thought about how much of stuff I waste or consume in a way that is not eco friendly. I always hear those words about being more green but I never really knew what the hype and urge was for it because the actual facts aren't talked about and known. I never thought about how washing clothes in just cold water could save and help the environment.
6. Yes I will try and not wash my clothes in warm water and I will be more conscious about gas in my car and traveling.
