Imagining a personal future pathway: Lifestyle test
Session 4.1 — Let’s get started!
The session starts with a calculation of the environmental burden your personal lifestyle creates. The results can help you reflect on your personal environmental impact as a basis for later envisioning a more sustainable future.
Step 1: Do one of the tests below:
- World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Footprint calculator
- New Lifestyle Test by the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra.
Step 2: What was your result? Reflect: Did something surprise you?
Step 3: Identify where, in your personal life, you could make a change to reduce your environmental impact.
- What would it require?
- What difficulties do you see in implementing your plan?
- What could you do to improve your chances of changing something in your lifestyle?
Step 4: Make a plan for a change. Set a goal and interim goals, and a timeline.
