How to Reduce Your Ecological Footprint

After adopting the new strategies for reducing my ecological footprint, I think I have witnessed tremendous changes that are quite impressive. By growing my own vegetables, I have reduced my ecological footprint by about 30%. This is because the vegetables I grow contribute positively to the environment in various ways. For example, the vegetables contribute to increased vegetation cover which not only increase the aesthetic value of the environment but help in increasing the oxygen levels in the atmosphere while reducing the carbon dioxide levels in the environment. 

In addition, using the heat dissipated by the TV to run the AC, I have realized a 40% decrease in my electricity consumption. This further reduces my carbon footprint in the sense that it helps to save the fuel consumption during generation of electricity. A lot of fuel is consumed during the generation of electricity which leads to generation of vast amounts of carbon dioxide which contribute to degradation of the environment. By far, this is my best achievement in reducing the ecological footprint. In future, I plan to continue reducing my ecological footprint by embracing clean energy. For example, I plan to start cycling to work more and reduce going to work with my car.
