When was the last time you considered the size of your ecological footprint? Every now and again I like to estimate mine by using the WWF’s EcoGuru footprint calculator. It only takes a few minutes, but it’s a good reminder of how the way we live impacts the planet. 

I’m ashamed to admit that while I’m below the North American average, I still have a long way to come in terms of greening my lifestyle. 

Three ways I intend to lessen my impact include supporting more local farmers, taking shorter showers and using the clothes dryer as little as possible. These actions may seem insignificant in the grand scheme but if we could all take a few baby steps in the direction of sustainability then we could really make a big difference.
