01.10 Ecological Footprint Lab Worksheet
Student Name:
Time Estimate: 60 minutes
Pre-Activity Questions:
An ecological footprint evaluates your use of land and water resources, as well as your contributions to air, soil, and water pollution. Answer, in complete sentences, the questions below:
1. What types of foods do you eat? Stake rice and tocos
2. How many bags of garbage do you think your family makes in a day? 8
3. On average, how much (and how far) does your family drive each day? About 15 miles
Data:
Earth Overshoot Day Number of Earths
Your Ecological Footprint
(in gha) Your Carbon Footprint
(CO2 emissions in tonnes per year) Your Carbon Footprint
(% of total ecological footprint)
Ecological footprint by Land Type (gha)
Built-Up Land Forest Products Cropland Grazing Land Fishing Grounds Carbon Footprint
Ecological footprint by Consumption Category (gha)
Food Shelter Mobility Goods Services
Analysis:
Use the results of your lab activity to answer the questions below in complete sentences.
1. How many Earths do we need if everyone lives like you? Were you above or below the level of an average person from your country? (Find this answer by selecting the little Ñ– info icon beside the Earths.)
2. What was your Overshoot Day? Explain what overshoot refers to in relation to your own ecological footprint. (Find this answer by selecting the little Ñ– info icon beside the overshoot day.)
3. Examine your ecological footprint and carbon footprint under the "Results Part 2" Tab. What percentage of your ecological footprint was due to carbon? Name two ways that you could change your carbon output in your daily life.
4. What was your highest land type and consumption category? Give reasons you believe these categories were your highest.
Making Connections:
Use the lesson content and the results of your lab activity to answer the questions below in complete sentences.
1. How are your current choices and activities affecting Earth's biocapacity? (Provide three examples.)
2. Describe the internal and external costs of one of the technologies mentioned in the Ecological Footprint questionnaire. (Examples: transportation, housing, energy, appliances, food production)
3. Describe five solutions to reduce your ecological footprint. (You may use suggestions from https://www. footprintcalculator. org/ or create some of your own.)
4. Which solution would be most difficult to commit to immediately, and why?
5. Which two solutions could you commit to right now?
