CARBON & ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

HTTPS://WWW3.EPA.GOV/CARBON-FOOTPRINT-CALCULATOR/# HTTPS://WWW.FOOTPRINTCALCULATOR.ORG/

According to carbon footprint calculator, my household emissions are lower than the U.S. average, which is 39,403 of household of 2 people.

My current total is 30,890 and after my planned actions it will be 27,692. My planned actions are equal to:

> Saving 163 gallons of gas > Planting 37 trees > Recycling 1,031 tons of waste > Total dollars savings $325 According to ecological footprint calculator, my personal Overshoot Day is:

March 25

Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity has exhausted nature’s budget for the year. For the rest of the year, we are maintaining our ecological deficit by drawing down local resource stocks and accumulating carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. If everyone lived like me, we would need:

4.3 Earths

This is sad! I think the most impact was my inability to use public transportation (which is non-existent in AK) and my annual flight time (about 70 or more hours).
