Go to the following website: http://www.footprintcalculator.org/home/enLinks to an external site.
Complete the questioner as accurately as possible in order to get your carbon and ecological footprint.
The results will be displayed in terms of ‘Consumption Category’ and will include: Food, Shelter, Mobility, Goods, and Services
Write a paper no longer than 3 pages (double-spaces) and 5 references using the information generated from the website.
In the paper, do a short comparison of your footprint as it relates to Food vs. the other consumption categories then focus on
comparing the footprint generated by your food choices to the average American as it relates to dietary choices.
If you also want to critique the methodologies used in generating these footprint assumptions the .pdf attached
has a link directing you to the portion of the website where they discuss their methods. The .pdf also has some links to software
you can utilize to manage your citations and references in MS Word (e.g. EndNote, Mendely, etc.).
