My Environmental Profile - This is basically an infographic about yourself, regarding personal resource use, environmental attitudes, etc.
Brief Introduction to Your APES Profile.
How APES Started: Your Summer Assignment Powerpoint presentation with caption.
How APES is Going: What have you learned so far?
My Views on Environment: Ya know those journal entries? Use them here!
Your APES Sustainability Self Analysis: (Aka the “Rate My Sustainability” CER)
CLAIM: ***** How many stars, out of 5, would you rate yourself, in terms of sustainability?
EVIDENCE Your carbon footprint, ecological footprint analyses, #MPG results, additional “high quality” research of your choosing
REASONING: Your Individual Paradigms about Environmental Science (may include environmental studies or environmentalism, etc)
Goals? What do you hope to do with all of this great new stuff you learn? How do you hope to use it in the future?
We will add other miscellaneous self-reflection projects/assignments as we go :)
What is an Ecological Footprint? An ecological footprint is the measurement of how sustainable an individual or group is, expressed by the amount of land and natural resources used.
My Results: I would rate myself 2 stars **.
My Ecological Footprint is 7.5 Global Hectares. My Carbon footprint is 12.1 tonnes per year. If everyone lived like me, there would need to be 4.6 Earths. My Ecological Footprint 4.4 times greater than a sustainable Ecological Footprint of 7.5 Global Hectares. Additionally, my carbon footprint is large, causing it to contribute to climate change and environmental degradation. Lastly, my lifestyle would need 4.6 Earths for everyone to live sustainably. To life a sustainable lifestyle, everyone who lived like me should only require one Earth or less.
