track your eco footprint

All of us affect the world around us in more ways than we realize. Smiling at a stranger could change the entire tone of that strangers day. Not texting someone back (my biggest pet peeve) might not seem like anything to you, but it might be a lot to the person waiting on the text. Taking the extra minute to hold open a door will not only make you feel better, but it'll make the person you held the door open for feel better too. Those are all such simple things you can do to affect the world around you.

Another way we affect the world around us is our Eco Footprint and just like all the things I mentioned above every little thing you do has a big impact...and not just on yourself. I wish people were more aware of the things they do and how it affects everything and everyone around them.

Take a minute to answer a few questions and see how much you are affecting the world around you...ecologically speaking. Then take a minute to smile at a stranger or make that call you've been meaning to make to your parents, or your grandparents, or your friend... they aren't going to be around forever, you know.
