ecological footprints

Sadly, my ecological footprint is about 20.0. If everyone lived the way i do, we would need about 10.4 earth's to be at the disposal of the population. My footprint is almost double the current number one country with the highest footprint average (United Arab Emirates with a footprint of 10.68 average). However I believe that the amount that I walk for and the energy efficient appliances that I use do infact make a difference in the long run because althjough it may seem like the amount of energy that it saves is quite small, it eventually adds up and can really make a difference. I find that for those who have the luxury of being more fortunate should be more responsible with their money and show their thanks by setting aside a little more money for more energy efficient products so they can show that the really do care about the world they live in. I think that to improve my footprint size, I shoud reduce the length of my showers because I have a bad habit of taking hour long showers. if i were to fix that up and lower it periodically to a goal of 10 minutes, that alone would help greatly. Another thing that I could do is snack less and spend less time on the computer because other then the sports that I play, I spend all my time either snacking, reading or spending large amounts of time on the computer. which brings me to my last point that i would like to mention. I have an incredibly large collection of books that although I do read often, it wastes paper and money if I can simply go to the library. If i can reduce the exageration of these things, I should be well on my way to improving my ecological footprint. I figure that since we're all imperfect, anyone who reads this could maybe share something that they could improve and maybe even challenge themselves to improve on it.
