Abstract:
Ecological footprint calculators enable individuals to more easily assess the impact of their lifestyle on the earth's resources. These calculators can be accessed through the World Wide Web and provide information on the utilization of food, transportation, housing and other areas. Results are reported in an easily understood format. This study investigated the changes in student scores, expressed in number of acres, over the course of a semester and found that there were significant positive changes both in the overall scores as well as subscale scores.
