My 2 critical categories of consumption are food and services. This shows that with my current ways of consumption, we would use up 2,5 earths. 

3. To diminish my impact I should start being more aware of the origin of my food consumption, I should probably head more to the farmers market and whenever I buy processed foods, try for them to be local, vegan or at least environmentally friendly.
In terms of food waste I believe I'm personally doing enough (I compost and always try to rather have to buy/make more food than to throw it away), I should check more for the waste generated by the companies I buy from.

I also have to be more aware of my services' consumption, the one I believe I can improve the most in, is water. Simple actions such as shower shorter, wash bigger loads of clothes per wash, and also bigger actions: promoting building with rain water collection, grey water re-usage, etc.

My 2 critical categories of consumption are shelter and food. With my current ways of consumption, we would use 3.4 earths. Also, the day my resources will be over if I  keep consuming this way is April 16th

3. Regarding food I think one thing that could decrease my impact is lowering my meat consumption, as I consume multiple types of meat several times a day.

Regarding shelter, I think this one is the most difficult as I try to do my best and recycle. But for example my house doesn't have a efficient heating system so we are constantly using heaters. So maybe try to invest in a heating system that would be better.]]> 2022-03-08 22:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2084956817 Guillaume Germond https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2085137189 My footprint is very important, I consume more resources for one year that the planet is able to produce whereas some people in other countries consume less. Indeed, I consume and waste resources that are common goods and which will be scarce in the future because of society like the one I belong to. I am responsible of the earth destruction, as all other people which belong to developed countries or societies.

- Mobility: I don’t think that I can improve on mobility because I don’t have car and I walk a lot, I do take plane but there aren’t other less polluting ways to travel so I won’t stop taking plane. 
- Food: I can reduce my ecological footprint by stopping eating meat because the activity of breeding cattle is responsible of a lot of carbon emissions. 
- Goods: I can also buy less things that I don’t need (almost clothes) or extend the life expectancy of my goods (for example only use one smartphone for 10 years). 
- Services: I can adopt a simpler way of life and stop doing a lot of activities. Moreover, I can use services with a carbon footprint less important and use them less (for example stop using micro-wave). I can also use less my computer and sending less messages and e-mail because it has a significant weight on my carbon footprint. 
- Shelter: I could live in a place with better insulation but I’m student so I can’t choose or afford that actually. I don’t think I can reduce so much my shelter carbon footprint because I already live in a flat with several people and I don’t use heating system that much.

My critical categories of consumption are food and shelter. This make sense because I consume animal protein almost every day. Also, my home does not count with sustainable energy, which explains the critical point on shelter.

2. To reduce my footprint with respect to food, I should reduce my meat consumption, maybe by having 3-4 vegetarian days a week. Also, become more aware of the products I buy and start buying more local products.

With respect to shelter, I should look for better alternatives of energy use. For example, replace light-bulbs with more efficient ones and find ways to start creating solar energy in my building.

In conclusion, I was very surprised with my carbon footprint and consider I should take seriously the actions I can take from now on. However, I think that it was difficult to measure some aspects of my footprint because there were things that I did not know. This is also a wake-up-call to be more aware of my consumption behaviour, because I should know those things.]]> 2022-03-09 04:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2085329299 Manuel Julián González https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2085344489 2. Food: The fact that I consume meat every day clearly makes my food consumption the main source of my footprint.
Services: The services I usually use also create a great amount of carbon footprint as a im not efficient in my consumption.

3. I think there is an opportunity in the food production of making the resources use more efficient through circular economy, using the waste in the production in other markets and our organic trash in other sectors of the economy.]]> 2022-03-09 04:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2085344489 Hugo Camacho https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2085359328 2. Two main critical points: Shelter & Mobility. 
3. Shelter: Find more efficient ways to use energy. It could be through smart appliances or by using clean energy sources for the majority of the devices. 
Mobility: Keep using my bike as I used to. ]]> 2022-03-09 04:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2085359328 Emily Martínez J https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2085363835 2. My 2 critical categories of consumption are shelter and food. I consume animal products on a daily basis, but I rarely eat fruits and vegetables or any food of vegetable origin.

3. I could decrease my impact lowering my animal product consumption, as I could consume more vegetables and natural food. Also, I consider necessary use more renovable energy to replace the use of electrical energy and polluting appliances.

Replace shelter is difficult, but I can do some changes from home like reducing the use of electrical energy and recycling, buying fewer packaged and processed products.

My critical points in my footprint data are food and mobility. the reason for this may be due to the fact that almost every day I consume some type of animal meat and I have to take the bus nearly everyday. We would have to use 3.4 earths if everybody has the same habits as me. 

2. To reduce my carbon footprint, I should start with the fact of how to transport myself. the journey from my house to the university by bicycle is 20 minutes, while by bus it is 40 minutes. Regarding food, starting new eating habits does not kill anyone, therefore I could reduce my consumption of animal meat and begin to eat more organic products and those from the national market. Also, I have to be aware of what kind of companies I buy my products from and encourage my family and friends to come by new habits.

Thanks to this, I´m aware of all the damage I do to the planet through my daily habits, therefore I have to implement nature-friendly alternatives.

My 2 critical categories of consumption are food and services.  The results shows that with my current ways of consumptions we would need 3.8 earths. 

3. To reduce my footprint especially in my critical categories, I can do changes in my daily diet. I could reduce my meat consumption by week, having 3 meatless days, and also be aware of the products that we are consuming in my house and where we buy it to reduce my carbon footprint, by consuming more local products.

2. Identify the 2 main critical points in your consumption behaviour.
The 2 things i consume the most are Shelter and goods. If everyone lived like me we would need aroun 7 earths.
 3. Identify circular economy alternatives to reduce your footprint
I think I could always reduce the amount of consumption in goods. Regarding shelter I think it is impossible for me to reduce it. I live with my parents so the only solution would be for me to ask them to move to a more efficient house which is not feasable.]]> 2022-03-09 15:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2086292395 Noémie Forson https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2086359979 My two critical consumption category is mobility and shelter. If everyone on earth had the same consumption than me, we would have to use 2.8 earths. For reducing my carbon footprint I should : 
 
1. Shelter 
Find different ways to use efficiently the energy whether is it when I cook, take a shower or use the lights. Also be responsible for the maintenance of my flat, for the insulation for example, here it is not necessary as there is no heating system. 

Mobility: Concerning my mobility, I use way more private transports like Uber to move from a place to another in Bogotà which I think I can't reduce when it comes to long distance travel for security. I am used to take public transports in Europe such as the subway and the bike, when the city I live in is adapted to move mainly by bike (= meaning the cars traffic is reduced in certain areas of the city and almost inexistent in the city center). 

I overall think that my carbon footprint is way bigger in Colombia than in France. ]]> 2022-03-09 15:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2086359979 Juana Pardo https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2086466624 2. The two main cirtical points in my consumption behavior are shelter and goods (very similar to food and services). With this, it shows that my current ways of consumption would use 2.9 Earths. 
3. I think that for shelter some alternatives would be to invest in services and goods that would make my home much greener, it would be easier and cheaper to do this than to invest in a new and much more sustainable house or apartment, even though that change would be much better on the long-run.
For goods and food I think that the way of making these points much more sustainable is to be conscious in my consumption, like eating less meat, and also in considering what has more priority when buying goods or food. Not all the processes by which things are made are completely sustainable and I would have to consider which of these I could buy less or even live without.]]> 2022-03-09 16:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2086466624 Matheo Leon mleonl3_2 https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2086533839 i think the two main critical factors were transportation and shelter. 
i think i can do do better by aplying efficiency methods at home like turning off light, recycling water, separating waste. Also i can come by bike to university and that should cut my co2 emissions about in half, also i do exercise. ]]> 2022-03-09 17:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2086533839 Mateo Barberena https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2087026857 2. my critical categories of consumption were shelter and food. With my current ways of consumption, we would use 4.8 earths. Also, the 17 of march is the limit day until it will be possible to continue this level of consumption.

3. Regarding shelter due to Colombia's average household infrastructure is very difficult to reduce our footprint, daily tasks like recycle may have an impact but not as significant, technology hasn't been present on the energy, resources or heating system.

As for food I can improve my weekly consumption of meats especially cattle, my surroundings  eat a lot of meat and I think it has to do a lot with the culture, but I can lower my impact by limiting my consumption to a few times weeklys. ]]> 2022-03-09 22:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2087026857 Franziskus Saurma https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2087523150 1. The main two critique points of my firstly, the amount of flights hour. As I am an exchange student, I want to see as many places as possible in very little time. Therefore, I only can use the aeroplane to visit a city over the weekend. The alternative use of a bus would not be durable as it would consume too much time. Secondly, is the house where I am currently staying is not very well isolated. However, it does not exist ley in y responsibility as I am only staying there for less than six months. 

2. An alternative idea would be to expand the routes of buses. A better and faster connection between the cities could help reduce the excessive demand for four aeroplane usage and the demand for Colombians. 
The house could be used material that isolates the place from inside and outside better to reduce CO2 emissions. Furthermore, better isolation for electrics lien is needed to reduce the carbon footprint. However, I don't influence that as my landlord decides what he will do with the house and to what extend it is profitable.]]> 2022-03-10 04:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2087523150 Santiago Camargo Q https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2094225024 After taking the test, the result showed that if everyone in the world lived like me, 6.2 Earths would be needed. My carbon footprint, by consumption category, is mostly from food and mobility. The results also showed that my Ecological Footprint is 10 global hectares, my Carbon Footprint is 15.4 tons of CO2 per year and this represents 53% of my total Ecological Footprint.To reduce my carbon footprint I could take steps in terms of transportation by carpooling and trying to use public transportation. In terms of energy, I could unplug appliances when I'm using them, take shorter showers, or use the clothes washer only when I can fill it. Finally, in terms of food, you could consume national products and eat seasonal products. ]]> 2022-03-14 16:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2094225024 Rafael E. Castelblanco R. https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2094244238 2. My critical categories of consumption are food and services, and that represents we would use 4.7 earths.

3.To diminish my impact I should consider to chose food that come directly from sustainable organizations so I can adapt in a correct way my habits. Also, I need to decrease the consumption of the processed products that have a negative impact in the plante. Also, I must reduce the produce of waste and the overuse of services. In the case of services, I can reduce the use of water and electricity by regulating my habits in the everyday .

Therefore, I can say that I could be definitely more responsable so my impact of my footprint can be less harmful for the earth.

Indeed, this way of life that I have is related to the city and the conditions in which I live. The two most critical points are mobility and food. On the one hand, given the security and lack of alternatives, I travel by car most of the time. The cars are not electric and I don't always share the car. On the other hand, the food I eat, in many cases, is imported, or they are foods that generate a lot of waste and energy consumed in their production, for example meat. For this reason I should on the one hand use the bicycle as a sustainable mode of transport and share my car more. On the other hand, you should consume more local products and less meat. Linked to this, I must improve my knowledge in understanding the origin of the products I consume and the energy consumed until they reach me.]]> 2022-03-16 01:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ma_angulor/b074bfjbsehzkmeu/wish/2097076348
