My Eco Handprint

We can measure the impact we are having on our Earth with the……..?? It measures our impact on the planet and its resources. Ecological Footprint

Can we measure the action we are taking to help our planet? Our Ecological Handprint helps quantify what we do to tread lightly on the earth Yes!

Our Eco Handprint focuses on: what you do to positively impact the earth. Actions we take to improve the conditions for today and future generations.

My Ecological Handprint Water Food Waste Energy Transportation

Ideally, we can…… increase our handprint decrease our footprint The potential of our handprint is unlimited!

Every choice we make has an impact… It can be positive, increase our handprint, and help our environment The choice is up to us It can be negative and increase our footprint and our impact on the earth

If I ride the bus instead of driving I support a mass-transit system, as well as reducing emissions.

If I reuse containers while buying bulk food we save raw materials, and reduce waste.

YOU could become an environmental superhero. This is the potential of your environmental handprint! Reduce waste Recycle more Use reusable containers Buy less Ride your bike Wear second hand clothes
