Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Jammil Montoya and I live in Riverside, CA.
I moved here about a year ago from where I am from, Houston, TX to pursue a career in real estate; which is going quite well. I plan to major in Business Administration to comply to the worlds ever changing markets and needs. I dream to one day become a real estate broker that not only buys and sells property, but also improves properties to raise living standards and profit. I chose environmental science as my first college level course because I am very interested in the habitats and creatures this world yields, and I find it easy to grasp.
I have a lot of hobbies that I love to do on my spare time which include: playing guitar, skateboarding, snowboarding, working out, hanging with the homies, and taking the occasional trip back to Houston to visit family and friends. One question that I would like to be answered this semester is: What is Earths status on global warming today and what are we doing to slow this inevitable process down? In conclusion, I am excited and motivated to succeed in this class and begin to continue my education.
Ecological Footprint
An ecological footprint is the measure of demand humans have on nature. If everyone on Earth lived as I do, it would take 6.2 Earths to maintain sustainability. The three top contributing factors to my footprint are mobility (38%), services (32%) and food (12%). A couple of ways I can reduce my impact are carpooling, recycling, reduce consumption of animal products, and using energy efficient appliances and/or solar paneling my house.
