Assignment 1B: Your Ecological Footprint
In many
of the assignments and discussions during this course, you will be challenged
to consider your impact on the environment or your values related to the
environment. You may find that your values change during this
course based on your study of the environment. The Final Project
provides a way to measure any change you may undergo during
this course and to reflect on your role in the environment.
To prepare for this Assignment:
·
Take the Ecological Footprint Quiz by clicking on the
link in the Learning Resources. Print out your
test results and consider the results of the quiz in the following
ways:
o Do you
feel the results are accurate? Were you surprised by any of the results? What
lifestyle choices impacted the size of your ecological footprint? How do you
think you could personally reduce your footprint? What are some of the ways
people are becoming more “green”?
o Write
your reactions and responses on your printed test results. You will use this
information in Week 10 as you prepare your final Reflection paper.
·
As the course progresses, note any changes you are making
in your everyday life or that you would like to make, and how these
changes reflect on your values as an individual and on your values regarding
your responsibility to society. If you are not making changes to your
ecological footprint,be prepared to explain why you have made that choice.

a 2-page essay in which you do the following:
- Assess your ecological footprint, including your reactions and
responses to your test results, that is your answers to the questions
above.
