Ecological Footprint Quiz
Jeremy emailed me this quiz today, so I thought it would be neat to try and find out just how bad of an environmentalist I am…
Ever wondered how much “nature” your lifestyle requires? You’re about to find out. This Ecological Footprint Quiz estimates how much productive land and water you need to support what you use and what you discard.
CATEGORY ACRES
food 5.4
mobility 2.5
shelter 4.2
goods/services 5.9
TOTAL FOOTPRINT 18
IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 24 ACRES PER PERSON.
WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 4.5 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE ACRES PER PERSON.
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 4.1 PLANETS.
Whooops. That’s all sorts of no good. Take the quiz by clicking here. It only took me 2 minutes (tops)… and post how many planets we would need if everyone lived like you. I want to see just how bad I suck.
If everybody lived like me, we would need 3.3 planets. That means 3.3 times as many hot chicks
right? Or does that mean the same amount, but more spread out and harder to find, cus that
would suck.

I should be banished to Mars. We would need 8.4 planets if everybody lived like me. I wonder what I do that is so bad?

5.3 PLANETS
I wonder how much my score would change if I didn’t drive 20 miles to
work (one way)….
