Think about the things you do on a daily basis: What you buy, how it’s produced, transported, packaged and consumed – all of these things add up and have an impact on the environment. The measurement of these activities is your personal footprint. Similar terms include carbon footprint, environmental footprint and ecological footprint. The bottom line: the lower your footprint, the better!
