I was surprised but not so much so since I have experienced some life changes since undergraduate studies. The results allowed me to see the changes in my day to day from undergraduate studies to working full time. If everyone lived like me we would need 5 planets to provide enough resources! To support my lifestyle it would take 22.2 global acres of the productive areas of the earth. In addition, services make up 40% of my ecological footprint. My overall ecological footprint shows that a lifestyle change is necessary in order to be a factor in society building and maintaining a sustainable community. Of course, I cannot make this change by myself but I can start by making smarter choices for my household and teach others. Moreover, society has the ability and can becomes less dependent on goods and services that negatively impact the environment by changing their consumption
