There are many ways of being efficient and avoiding waste. If you pour your coffee into a reusable (ceramic, glass, or metal) cup, even in a restaurant, rather than using a disposable cardboard or Styrofoam cup, that reduces the ecological footprint of drinking that particular cup of coffee. If you walk or bicycle where that is feasible, rather than travelling by car, that creates a smaller ecological footprint. Literally every aspect of your life can be examined to see how to do it efficiently rather than wastefully. Beyond that, you will at some point have an opportunity to influence political decisions, as a voter. That can have larger ecological consequences. The size of your family will also have large ecological consequences (not that you really should start having children as a teenager). The ecological footprint of 3 children is 3 times as large as that of 1 child. The excessive human population of 7 billion people currently living on our planet is the largest single factor causing ecological damage.

Although Mexico is slightly more developed than China (GDP per capita of 18,900 in Mexico vs. 15,400 in China), it has a lower ecological footprint because China has focused its development in heavy industries like cement and steel, while Mexico has transitioned directly to a services-oriented economy, where the most important "industries" include tourism and retail. This has resulted in an ecological footprint of 2.89 hectares (7.14 acres) in Mexico vs. 3.38 hectares (8.35 acres) for China.

There is no actual one size of a water footprint, a water footprint is determined by the amount of water used related to the consumption of people. The four major factors used in figuring out the water footprint of a country are the volume of consumption, the consumption pattern, climate and the agricultural practice. the global average water footprint is 1240 m^3/cap/yr.

No, we can still have a quality of life but by reducing your footprint will better your life.

an ecological foot print is a test that you can take to determine the size of the foot print that you leave on the ecosystem.
