John and Tom both have the same size of refrigerator.  John's refrigerator is 97% efficient and Tom's is 80% efficient.  The contribution of their respective refrigerators to their individual ecological footprint (EF) is the same.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


False

Since the refrigerators are the same, one has a higher efficiency and thus uses less energy than the other one.  An important facet of one's EF is how much energy is wasted.  The more you waste, the higher your EF.
