This is the second time I have used the Global Footprint Network’s Footprint Calculator. The first time I did it, I had the overshoot day the 29th of July and if everyone lived like me, we would need 1.7 Earths. This time around my personal overshoot day is the 28th of August. Also, if everyone lived like me, we would need 1.5 Earths, which is .2 Earths lower than what I had in May. My carbon footprint is still the highest of my emissions. I am happy that I decreased in Earths, now I need to work on my carbon footprint and my emissions.

So now, on to my results. My overshoot day is April 15th, and if everyone lived like me we would 3.4 earths. My biggest consumption was my carbon footprint. As I am looking over this data, I’m still not sure if I know what 100% of what everything means. I can sort of understand about the carbon footprint, but it still seems higher than what I thought it would be. My wife and I both have newer cars (oldest being a 2016), hers being an SUV. I know the SUV will contribute to a higher percentage, but it is a 4 cylinder turbo. Mine is a sedan with the same type of engine. I suppose these are things that I should have thought about in the past. This may be something that opens eyes if you will.
