QUESTION 1
Evaluating My Environmental Footprint
My name is [Insert Name], and I currently reside in [Insert Area, e.g., a suburban township
in Gauteng, South Africa]. My community is semi-urban, with a growing population and
access to most basic services such as electricity, running water, and waste disposal.
However, we face challenges such as water scarcity, illegal dumping, inconsistent
recycling services, and rising electricity costs. These environmental issues are noticeable
in everyday life, as we often have to limit water use during restrictions and witness the
effects of pollution in open spaces.
Living in this environment, I have become increasingly aware of my personal
environmental footprint. My lifestyle, like that of many people around me, contributes to
both local and global environmental impacts. While I do not consume resources
excessively, I realise that my daily choices what I eat, how I travel, how I use electricity and
water play a role in shaping the broader ecological picture.
