Reflection:
I learned through this activity is that by changing the electricity amount use daily and since wood is the most material building that most energy efficient I save so much energy use around the house. Also, by eating a lot of natural process food and fruits the amount of earth to be use decrease down which is good because I don't need a huge amount of earth to support me. Not only that when I change the size of my house I actually have spaces for gardening to also save my money from buying food. These type of changes made a huge impact from my first foot print I know it's hard to be vegetarian but it can save your life.
