A neat site which works out your ecological footprint. Mine's 11, which apparently means we'd need 2.4 planets if everyone lived like me. And that's only accounting for my ego P

CATEGORY ACRES
FOOD 3
MOBILITY 0.2
SHELTER 6.2
GOODS/SERVICES 4.4
TOTAL FOOTPRINT 14
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 3.1 PLANETS.
How the heck did you get 11 Monster? razz
Do you guys live in a hole in the ground?
Vegetarian, Hybrid Driving, Recycling, Organic regards... 8)
Larger household = less square feet/electricity/etc per person?
So in order to qualify for 1.0 planets you must be Vegan, live in a 500 sq/ft home with eight other people, no running water but energy efficent lighting, ride a cow to work every day and get 50+mpg from a car that you never use. Sounds good to me. Where do I sign up? grin

So we need to move into a smaller house, or go forth and multiply? :grin:

Methane from that cow contributes to global warming, mate.... :roll: :lol:
But it also powers the energy efficient lighting system.. grin
oops mine is 18 footprints and would take 4 planets. roll
Total 13 Footprints and 2.9 Planets oops
23 acres
5.3 planets
It's because I live alone in a big old house. It's probably a little high because I said my electrics weren't efficient and I do have the spiral flourescents in many places. However, it says the average in my country is 24 acres
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 2.8 PLANETS.
/oops
//likes how the site shouts that result at you
