Ecological Footprint Reduction Project

In a well-crafted discussion post of at least 200 words, report on the results of all five weeks of the Ecological Footprint Reduction Project.  Did you meet with success?  If so, what activity or activities do you think made the biggest difference?  What additional actions would you consider taking to reduce your footprints in the future, particularly in terms of lessening the amount of materials you consume and wastes you produce?  What did you learn from this experience?  Do you think that individual efforts to live more sustainably matter?  Why or why not?
