How big is your footprint?

Squeaking in just under the wire on Earth day: How big is your ecological footprint?

Mine is too big. Gulp.

CATEGORY ACRES

FOOD 4.7

MOBILITY 1.7

SHELTER 5.2

GOODS/SERVICES 4.7

TOTAL FOOTPRINT 16


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 3.7 PLANETS.

Okay, so I'm doing better than the average American. Still. This is bad.
