I thought based on my results my footprint was a lot larger than others, as each topic seems to encompass any other people the same topics in my class. When I was finished calculating I realized I spent a lot of time on transportation this past year, from mainly flying place to place, which I now realize releases thousands of gas particles into the air, polluting over the past months. I didn't really have much of an effect with like shopping, because I do not like to do that so often, which actually benefited myself, as I later learned the plastic bags used to package clothing, is harmful to the environment. My total was over one hundred thousand which actually really surprised me because I love the environment, and I am usually very aware of what I am doing to harm it and I'll try to prevent that. My results mostly exceeded the average for that certain part because I did use carbon dioxide,  and gas a, in general, a lot last year. I could try to improve my results, by relying less on gas motives of transportation, and either take transportation for more people to be eco-friendly or just even walk or run more in life. The choices we make do actually heavily impact our world, as shown through our carbon footprints, so we can look at these and try to improve each week, by recycling, exercising, not polluting, and more.
