Honestly when i saw my result I was shocked. Having an overshoot day on april 6th means that by that date I had already used up all the resources the earth can regenerate in a whole year. And if everyone lived like me, we'd need 3.8 earths which we obviously dont't have. This translates into very real problems like deforestation, water shortages, pollution and climate change, it's not very distant concept it's literally happening right now.

And speaking of COVID when everything dhut down, pollution dropped, rivers cleared up, animals started coming back to cities. But as soon as things went back to "normal", emissions shot right back up. The planet can recover, but we need actual lasting change, not just forced pauses.

My results were honestly a shock to me. my personal Earth Overshoot Day is February 9th, and it would take 8.9 Earths to sustain the population if everyone lived my lifestyle. It really highlights the volume of resources required for our daily routines, from transportation to energy consumption. Interestingly, the COVID-19 sanitary contingency showed us a brief glimpse of the alternative when daily commuting and industrial activity suddenly paused, we saw immediate improvements in air quality and a recovery in local ecosystems. It proves that our collective daily habits have a direct, heavy impact on the planet capacity to regenerate

When I took the Ecological Footprint test and it showed that I need 7.9 planets to live, I honestly couldn't believe it. I was shocked because I wasn't expecting such a high number at all. It really makes you realize that many things we do every day things we’d swear don't do any harm actually affect the planet more than we think. In the end, you realize how much of an impact your daily choices have: what you eat, how you move, the lights you leave on, or even the water you use when you shower. Sometimes we think that what we do on our own doesn't matter, but when it becomes a daily routine, the impact becomes enormous. It makes me think about what we experienced during the pandemic: the world came to a complete standstill, and out of nowhere, we started seeing clear skies without smog and nature reclaiming its space. That's when it became clear to me that our daily routine affects the planet. Honestly, taking this test was a wake-up call and made me more aware of my choices. Ultimately, it just left me thinking about the changes I need to start making to reduce my footprint.

My quiz results showed that if everyone in the world lived the same way I do, we would need about six Earths to provide enough resources. This result surprised me because it shows how much impact our daily habits can have on the environment. Our ecological footprint affects the use of natural resources, energy consumption, and the amount of pollution we generate. This issue has impacted the world in many ways, including climate change, environmental degradation, and resource shortages. The COVID-19 pandemic also reminded us of the importance of taking care of our planet and thinking about the consequences of our actions. I think these results can help people become more aware of their lifestyle and encourage them to make more sustainable choices.

At first glance, I was very impressed about the result I obtained, beacuse in my daily life I make conscious effort to contribute less to pollution and exploitation of the environment. I use my bicicle often, I carpool, I always use public transportaion if I'm going further than 10 km away from my home, I eat meat once or twice a week, and buy from a local market.

However, while I was doing this test I realized that I still used much more electricity than needed, that I generated tons of plastic trash from food packages and bags, and also that I wasted lots of water. I also reflected about the message on the page, that said that our carbon footprint is not only affected by our lifestyle, but also by the society and governments we live in, which means that the way to defeat this problem is not only individual, but must also be solved through collective action.

This is specially true when we become concious that the term "carbon footprint" was first popularized with British Petroleum's "carbon footprint calculator" as a way to move the blame of their environmental impact into common citizens. This doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything to help the environment in the small scale or our daily lives, but it means that we must put great effort into making governments and enterprises responsible for their own effect in the environment.

My results really shocked me because I had never thought that my lifestyle was this bad. I mean, I had never stopped and thought about how I am living and how this could be affecting the planet. All this time, I thought that my lifestyle was not that bad, or maybe that it didn't have an impact on the world. But with this quiz, I realized that I was wrong all this time, because if everyone on Earth lived like me, we would need 3.8 Earths, and that's a lot because we only have one. This quiz also made me think about Covid, because it was a massive problem that stopped the whole world and caused the Earth to start recovering from human industrial activity. It was like the Earth was healing itself. However, when Covid passed, our lifestyles started affecting the world again, and the healing process stopped and went back to normal. So I think this event demonstrates that change needs to start with us, maybe we think that our actions don’t change anything or have any impact, but they do. We need to believe that and try to convince more people of it.

This activity openned my eyes in many ways, cause i have normalizaded many things in my daily life. But more than fear, this motivates me to care more my planet because I only have one, I dont have 5.9 Earth planets to finish them. I would like to create my own garden for eat less processed food and have a life more of country, because I love to go to my ranch and spend time in the nature. Other thing is that lately I try to eat much less red meat, I dont know why but from one day to another it gives me disgust, and everybody knows that the butcher industry is one of the most polluting in the planet. Speaking about COVID, more than the question of the teacher, I think in all the international market that opened because we couldnt go out and we ordered everything online, so I reflect about consumerism and all the boxes of packings that definitly affect the enviroment

At first I thought my home was very efficient and we did not contaminate as much. My mom always taught us to save water, save electricity and recicle. I do not own a car and always use public transport. That is why I thought I was doing great. It was not until I took the test until I found out how much damage my lifestyle was generating. It is honestly amazing. I cannot picture what would be the result of artist and famous people that contaminate a lot. This is a wake up call for all people to change their lifestyles and start being more conscient about the harm they are doing. It is sure that if we keep this pace, nothing will be left for us. It is a very worrying situation. Another aspect that I think influences a lot is the pandemic. The pandemic came to change our lifestyle in a radical way, making us more dependent of technology and being more consummist overall. It is important to always have a critical thinking in all of our decision, and ask ourselves what is the impact of our actions. Because, as insignificant as they seem in a future it can have a greater impact. Like this test, there were some things I found senseless, but turned out to be really harmful.

When I saw my results, I was honestly surprised. I knew there were some things I could improve, but I didn't expect my Earth Overshoot Day to be March 10. Seeing that my lifestyle would require 5.3 Earths made me realize that some of the things I do every day have a bigger impact than I thought.

What caught my attention is that many of those things seem completely normal. Driving instead of walking, buying things that I don't really need, leaving electronics plugged in, or not always thinking about how much water or energy I use. On their own, these habits don't seem like a big deal, but they can add up over time.

This quiz also brought back memories of the COVID-19 pandemic. During that period, many people stayed home, there were fewer cars on the streets, and pollution levels went down in some places. Looking back, it made me think about how our everyday actions affect the environment.

After taking the Ecological Footprint Quiz, I discovered that my personal Earth Overshoot Day is February 19th. The results also showed that if everyone lived the same way I do, humanity would need 7.2 Earths to provide enough natural resources.

These results surprised me because they show that my lifestyle uses more resources than our planet can regenerate in a year. This situation has a significant impact on the world because it contributes to environmental problems such as climate change, pollution, deforestation, and the depletion of natural resources.

The COVID-19 pandemic also showed us how human activities affect the environment. During the sanitary contingency, many industries slowed down, transportation decreased, and pollution levels were temporarily reduced in some places. This demonstrated that our daily actions have a direct impact on the planet and that more sustainable habits can help protect the environment for future generations.

# data[].attributes.body
My ecological footprint results showed that if everyone lived like me, we would need 2.3 Earths to support our lifestyle. This result made me realize that our daily choices, such as the way we consume resources, travel, and buy products, have a significant impact on the environment. Overconsumption contributes to climate change, pollution, and the depletion of natural resources. It is important to adopt more sustainable habits to reduce our impact and ensure a better future for the next generations.

After taking the test and seeing the results, i was expecting my environmental impact to be lower but it seems that is not the case. The first thing I noticed was my personal Earth Overshoot Day, i use a whole year's worth of resources in just under three months. Then I saw that we would need 4.2 Earths if everyone lived like me this was shocking because I truly believed my carbon footprint was smaller.

I use public transportation almost every day and I have a solar water heater, but I noticed my biggest problem is my diet, as I consume a lot of meat.

This made me remember the COVID-19 sanitary contingency. When everyone was staying at home and nobody went out unless it was strictly necessary, the planet started recovering. I remember seeing the news about how air pollution in CDMX improved significantly during the pandemic. Knowing this, the only thing left to do is improve my habits

# data[].attributes.body
I found that my personal Earth Overshoot Day falls on April 28th, meaning that if everyone on the planet lived the way I do, we would exhaust Earth's resources in just four months. The result also showed that we would need 3.1 Earths to sustain that lifestyle globally, which is honestly eye-opening. A lot of my footprint likely comes from energy consumption, transportation, and food habits, things I don't usually think twice about. This connects directly to what we experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic: when human activity drastically slowed down, nature began to recover almost immediately, air quality improved, wildlife returned to urban areas, and carbon emissions dropped worldwide. It was a real-life experiment that showed how much impact our daily choices have on the planet. My results remind me that sustainability isn't just a global policy issue, it starts with individual decisions made every single day.

I already had took this quiz last semester when I took environment and society, so my results were around the same data because I already started changing some things around my lifestyle, but it's still shocking and a great way to really realice how much damage one single person can do to the whole world. About COVID, of course I remember seeing the news about how the pollution levels were lowering and more about how the earth started to recover as soon as our daily activities were suddenly stopped.

Last semester my final project was about what can I change about my lifestyle to help the environment and I can gladly said I am doing those daily small changes.

Hi everyone. After taking the Ecological Footprint Calculator, I was honestly surprised by my results. The calculator showed that if everyone lived like me, we would need 4.5 Earths to support that lifestyle. This made me realize that my daily habits have a greater impact on the environment than I thought.

I reflected on how my food choices, transportation, and consumption patterns contribute to my ecological footprint. As a nutrition student, this activity helped me understand that sustainability is not only about taking care of our health, but also about taking care of our planet.

Another thing that came to my mind was the sanitary contingency we experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. That situation showed us how global challenges can affect everyone and how important it is to work together to find solutions. It also taught us that our actions can have an impact on the well-being of other people and our communities.

Overall, this experience increased my awareness of global challenges and motivated me to make more sustainable decisions in my everyday life. I believe that even small changes can make a difference and help create a better future for everyone. Thank you.

Honestly, I was really shocked when I saw my results. I didn't expect my ecological footprint to be that high. Seeing that my Earth Overshoot Day is February 20 and that we would need 7.1 Earths if everyone lived like me made me realize how much our everyday choices affect the environment.

Before taking the quiz, I knew that pollution and climate change were important issues, but I had never thought about how my own habits contribute to them. Things like transportation, shopping, and the food we eat can have a bigger impact than we imagine.

It also made me think about what happened during COVID. When everything shut down, pollution decreased and nature seemed to recover a little. But as soon as life went back to normal, many of those problems returned. For me, this shows that if we want real change, we need to make better choices every day, not only during special situations.

This activity helped me become more aware of my impact on the planet and motivated me to think about small changes I can make in my daily life.

To be honest, I was surprised by my result because I thought my carbon footprint was going to be higher. While I was taking the quiz, there were some questions I didn't know how to answer, like how many liters of gas my car uses every 100 kilometers. When I asked my dad, he didn't know either, which made me think my footprint would be even bigger. However, even though it was less than I expected, my footprint is still high. It really made me think about the things I do every day. I used to see these actions as completely normal and natural in our society, and I never thought they were bad or affecting the planet. Now I realize that if many people around me do the same things, it means we are polluting the planet together. We are normalizing habits that we shouldn't normalize. That is exactly why during the pandemic, when nobody left their houses, the planet recovered a little from the damage we have done to it. For example, the waters in places like Venice became so clear that people could see nature returning, which was something I didn't even know could happen so fast.

When I got my result, I was completely shocked because even though I have tried to take some measures to reduce my carbon footprint, I still have habits that negatively affect the planet where I live. After taking that quiz, it really put my consumption into perspective. It even reminded me of some videos I had seen about how many platforms, such as artificial intelligence systems, are contributing to the depletion of the planet’s water resources, and how in some places in the United States people are already experiencing these consequences in a more concerning way. For example, people who live near these companies can no longer enjoy access to water in a decent condition for carrying out everyday tasks.

Regarding COVID-19, it was something that nobody expected, and at the beginning many people did not give it the importance it deserved until it was too late. The fact that no one was prepared for a pandemic of that magnitude made us question how we were taking care of ourselves and how our way of living could put our loved ones in danger. However, despite all the negative effects that we experienced as human beings, the lockdown allowed the planet to recover in ways that were both positive and surprising, such as animals reclaiming their natural habitats. This made me realize that humans are the real and only cancer of the planet, but at the same time, it also showed me that it is still not too late to change and help restore the ecosystem.

This result was an eye-opener and made me reflect deeply on how I consume and directly affect our planet. Seeing that if everyone had my lifestyle we would need 4.7 Earths was shocking. Looking back to the COVID-19 era, I remember that all pollution was drastically reduced. I even recall viewing some videos on TikTok of some animals wandering into the cities. They were, for the first time in decades, free to roam wherever they wanted as no humans were able to go outside. That made me a little happy. Also, I was able to see a clear sky again and see the stars from my roof, something that is nearly impossible nowadays. It's important to remember that we only have one Earth, and if we kill it, we have nowhere to go. So, let's make a difference and start caring for our home. Big things start with small changes.

After taking the ecological footprint quiz, I found out that my Personal Earth Overshoot Day is March 5th. I was surprised to learn that if everyone lived the same way I do, we would need 5.6 Earths to sustain our lifestyle. The quiz considered things like how often I use my car, the materials my house is made of, and other daily habits.

Seeing these results made me realize that many of the things we do without thinking have a real impact on the planet. I think we sometimes forget that our consumption and lifestyle choices affect the environment. The COVID-19 pandemic also showed us that human activities can have a huge influence on the world around us. During that time, pollution levels decreased in many places because people traveled less and industries slowed down. To me, this proves that even small changes in our habits can make a difference, and that we all have a responsibility to take better care of our planet.

I was surprised by my results. My Earth Overshoot Day is April 5, and the calculator showed that if everyone lived like me, we would need 3.8 Earths. This made me realize that my lifestyle has a bigger impact on the environment than I expected.

As an architecture student, this result made me think about the importance of sustainability. Architects can help reduce environmental impact by designing more efficient and eco-friendly buildings. Overall, this quiz helped me become more aware of my habits and motivated me to make better choices to protect the environment.

Excellent work on this reflection. You have clearly identified the gap between our current consumption patterns and the planet's biocapacity. I was particularly impressed by your observations on how external factors—like the COVID-19 pandemic or local cultural attitudes—shape our environmental impact. Your ability to analyze the complexity of 'habit-changing' shows a high level of maturity. Moving forward, I encourage you to keep looking for those 'small wins' in daily life that can eventually lead to a more sustainable footprint.
