Exercise 6

Working with classmates, conduct an ecological footprint analysis of your campus. Work with a partner, or in small groups, to research and investigate an aspect of your school such as recycling and/or composting; water use; food service practices; energy use; building management and energy conservation; transportation for both on- and off-campus trips; grounds maintenance; and institutional environmental awareness and education. Depending on your school and its location you may be able to add more areas to the investigation. You may decide to study the campus as a whole, or you may decide to break down the campus into smaller research areas such as dorms, administrative buildings, classrooms and classroom buildings, buildings, grounds, and other areas. To accomplish this, take the following steps:
After deciding on your group's research area, conduct your analysis. As part of your analysis, develop a list of questions that will help to determine the ecological impact related to your chosen topic. Each question item in this questionnaire could have a range of responses on a scale of 1 (poor) to 10 (excellent).
