Transportation Follow-Up and Possible Alternatives

As a follow up of my Environmental Science Project, which asked me to track every single action of mine related to water, waste, and transportation and log my results for 4 weeks straight, I have noted my observations and took note of a few alternatives to the question of transportation. The goal of the project was to identify exactly how wasteful my habits and actions were and what I could do to improve my Ecological Footprint! (Which by the way went down from 3.8 to 3.6 Earths by the end of the project, however I also learned that living in the USA, a person’s footprint hardly ever falls below 3 Earths, since the structure and systems are such that promote waste and prevent a person to really do much about their footprint after a certain point. See below for details.)
