Assignment: Create a systemic cause-and-effect diagram (CED) with the desired effect of Reducing My Ecological Footprint. Start with the categories: People, Processes, Purchases, Equipment, Measures, and Environment. (Note that “Environment” refers to causes that affect your ecological footprint, but are outside of your immediate control.) If these cause categories don’t seem to work for you, create a second CED. Write a three page executive summary (double spaced, 1″ margins, 12 pt Georgia or Tahoma font) packed with content emphasizing the three or four most significant or most interesting (but practical) actions you could take to reduce your ecological footprint. These actions should come from your cause-and-effect diagram. The cause-and-effect diagram should be attached, but is not included in the three page executive summary.
