Part A. Measure Your Impact

1. You need to write down eight activities and record what resources are
used. Activities may cover catching a bus, brushing teeth, gettingdressed,
eating lunch, and playing sport to name a few.
2. You also need to record what resources were used to undertake the
activity. The resources include water, energy or waste produced.
3. You then need to estimate how much of the resource you used and write
down the number 1, 2 or 3 in the usage boxes. Use the following guide:

would be medium however if you had the television on for three hours, it
would be high. We have included an example below to get you started!
