Fill in this questionnaire and work out your score to see
what sort of footprint you leave on the world. Are you thinking of our world’s
future? As humans we have developed a life style that is far from sustainable
and we must start altering our damaging habits to ensure generations to come
have a future at all. Have you ever thought that the trees, the plants and
the animals would do just fine regardless of our existence, yet we rely on
them for oxygen and food – in other words we could not do without them!! Yet
if we continue our unsustainable habits we will not only endanger our own
species but theirs too!
