Footprint Analysis

After doing the ecological footprint that my professor gave to us. I find out that my ecological footprint exceeds at by .3 hectares. Basically a normal household footprint is 1.0 hectare and after reviewing what I have input on the excel file that my professor uploaded. I found out that one factor that affects my ecological footprint is the number of people in the house. My family composes of 5 member me and my two brothers and my dad and mom. after reviewing what my necessities and need on the excel file I found out that because my family composes of four boys and one girl. We tend to consume more food and housing necessities thus making our monthly hours of life energy exceeds than normal.

Then I tried to lessen our consumption and after one week I recompute my ecological footprint and was surprised on the results it made. My family ecological footprint goes down to 1.0 hectare then it came out of my mind that if my family tries to lessen all of their consumption maybe our ecological footprint would go down. And to draw my final conclusion I think that if every family in the country tries to less down their consumption our ecological footprint for the whole country may go down.
