As our population has grown exponential over the past century, so has our environmental impact. Quite recently a greater number of influential people and…

This is, however, unlikely, as the greater amount of the population could never actually do this. Lucky for them, they do not have to because Hershey’s is working to fix many social and environmental problems and actually has a positive social footprint.

reliable, and modern energy services” (7.1) 7.2 Eco footprint and eco system can help measure due to the fact that by monitoring the eco footprint it can be seen what is being wasted and where improvements can be made in order to “share of renewable energy in the global energy mix” (7.2). And the Ecosystem services in turn can be regulated… 7.3 For the same reasons why renewable energy it is important to keep track of the ecological footprint in order to monitor waste for the “improvement in…

For this assignment, I had to calculate my carbon footprint using three different calculators: Cool Climate Network Calculator, Carbon Calculator, and the EPA Carbon Footprint Calculator. I assessed how much electricity and natural gas was used in my student house, where 7 individuals live. I got different results from each calculator. I believe that the difference in results was due to the fact that two of the calculators were based on the footprint of the average American household, such as…

gas in our atmosphere. Carbon footprint is really important and it help us to balance with The Nature Conservancy.
