http://www.earthday.net/footprint/index.asp#
Here's how I did...
| Quote: | TOTAL FOOTPRINT 8
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 1.8 PLANETS. |
Better than average I guess

 I think I got slammed for driving over 400 miles a week to work. I live in one of the smallest houses in my neighborhood and drive a car not a tank and I still scored 31.

19 - The only category I scored really well in, 0.2 acres, is (surprise, surprise) mobility.

How would you call a 0.5 "hammered"? That's your lowest score.

20 acres for me. The average in Canada is 22 but that doesn't make me feel better. My biggest problems seem to be that I eat meat regularily and live 40km from my work.
