What is your ecological footprint ?

[kiwitt]

check http://www.earthday.net/footprint/index.asp

I got 4.7 Hectares.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

17. If everyone lived like me, we would need 3.8 planets. Fortunatly there are all those starving people in Africa that let me live this way.

[Kanamori]

41 or 9.2 planets

[King of Atlantis]

i got 19, but i was below my national average of 25.

[Kanamori]

I find it odd that it, seeminly, parallels having a lower score w/ being a better person, or at least, being better for the world. It is neither desirable nor healthy to live packed in like sardines; simply put, it is not my fault that some seem to have issues with either using contraceptives or limmiting how much sex they have unprotected. If anything, it shows that we have a huge problem w/ overpopulation.

A few ambigous questions in there.

My mobility has certainly increased since getting a station wagon a couple of weeks ago compared with just using public transport. But when I did the questionaire a second time my mobility while using public transport only dropped to 1.2 compared with 1.3???

Also it begs the question. Should I limit my consumption because of another nations lack of contraception?

Given that Australia has the same landmass of Europe, but only 1/20th of the population.

Mind you that is deceptive given the lack of water in Aus.

Ahah, im really trying to feel guilty but its not working.. i liked Sasaki's first answer though.

[King of Atlantis]

41! All these europeans wer making me feel bad.

[ichi]

22 acres, requiring 5.1 planets.

This has confirmed my belief that we need to support the space program, 'casue we need more planets

I think the quiz has take into account Aus. conditions, approximately at least. I take the quiz again, supposing that I'm living in Aus.

Compare this with my actual score: total footprint 2.4/1.3 planets

[Big_John]

13 acres (~5.3 hectares) about half my national average, but i'm still using nearly 3 earths worth of my share!

[Sasaki Kojiro]

The only quibble I have is that it should say:

" WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 4.5 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE ACRES PER PERSON.



IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 3.8 PLANETS, or we would need to make each acre more biologically productive"

Im perfect

[Papewaio]

All you need to prove that you are perfect is to prove to Jag that you are.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Wow, that's pathetic for an American. We need to get a car, burn up some more electricity, something. I feel so ashamed. 1.9 planets? That's nothing! That's not even trying!

Look at me the evil conservative living in the most expensive place to live in the US and taking up less than my share. Now I should be the one whos ashamed.
