Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reusing materials reduces the need to buy new items, which can decrease consumption and therefore reduce an individual's ecological footprint. In addition, reducing consumption overall can also have a significant impact on reducing one's ecological footprint. Choosing cheaper items may not always be the best option as they may not be made sustainably or could be more likely to break or need to be replaced, leading to increased consumption in the long run. Avoiding mass transit and bicycles also increases individual carbon emissions, which would increase ecological footprint.
