Costa Rica/ Footprint

Sep 2, 2017 by Daniela Solera

How do these simulations relate to your community? Do any of them feel irrelevant to your context?

These simulations are very useful in our community, they are not only a interesting way to know your footprint in the world, but these simulations are also something people could start doing more often to know how to reduce their footprint and how relevant is for the world and how its affecting the climate change.

How do these simulations help you (or not help you) find your place in combatting climate change?

These simulations don't feel irrelevant, and by doing them is making people more aware of the situation of our planet. Simulations are also making grace in awareness between people of the impact of each of them on earth and how to reduce their footprint on earth.

Have these simulations changed how you think climate change should be tackled?

These simulations helped me realize how much our carbon footprint can change the world. The carbon footprint simulation made me more aware that if people live as I live the world would not last. The simulations gave me the solutions to solve this problem. My biggest footprint was the transportation but in general my footprint counts as 6.5 planets. I tried to make a change in my daily routine once I saw my results. One of the things I implement was the carpool and also now I use more public transportation. If i got those results imagine a whole city, Earth will die tomorrow.

Amazing words, we need to change our lifestyle! Is it possible to upload a pic that exemplify your words? I'd be really glad if you do so.

As You are saying "Earth will die tomorrow" and we didn't have another 6.5 planets to live yet.

Good realization Daniela, we definitely can not continue the way we are going.

Now that you have started making changes to your life style, being consistent and getting others to do the same is the next step.

Any plans on how to do these? Please share with us.

Are you documenting the reduction in your Ecological Footprints? it will be great to see it and it will be a good motivation for you and others.

The Earth will not die in our generation. We will surely do our part and best to keep it alive and in great shape for the next generation.

 Great job!
