I just took the Ecological Footprint Quiz at earthday.net. I went in thinking I'd score well. I walk to work; I drive a fuel-efficient car; I eat vegetarian dinners maybe 4-5 nights a week.
As it turns out, my Ecological Footprint is 18 acres, and more horrifying, if everybody lived like me we would need 3.9 planets.
Go ahead, test yourself.

I'd need three planets if everyone lived like me.
You're almost a full planet greener than I am then. Good work!
4 planets! My house is too big...not that you would know that from looking at it, but that's the biggest chunk of my 18 acres. Should have stayed in my 800 square ft house and put my baby in a drawer, as my husband once suggested. You know, if you read on, they tell you some of it's not your fault. I liked that part. Less guilt. :-)
Yeah, but we let ourselves off from the guilt too much when it comes to the environment. I have to find a way to get my footprint smaller.
Thank you. I try, but sometimes it doesn't feel like I'm trying...
