I'm an 11. What exactly does this mean? Is this good or bad? :idontno:

CATEGORY ACRES

FOOD 3.2

MOBILITY 1.7

SHELTER 2.7

GOODS/SERVICES 3

TOTAL FOOTPRINT 11



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 2.4 PLANETS.

interesting. i'm a 37.
I'm a 12. Wonder if this is a scaled-down version; I've read that a true personal footprint measurement requires things like actually weighing your possessions.

I can't finish this quiz because I have no idea what Mexican city has weather most similar to Indianapolis. I've never visited a Mexican city! Why would they expect me to know this? :idontno:

So the lower the better? I guess I'm a hippie deep down. And I live in an area that is 350 square feet! :funn:

Thank you, Miss Kitty. I was getting pretty mad about that and even madder that they expected me to be conversant with metres and kilometers as well. :oops:

I'm a 19 or a 20. Some of those questions had choices that couldn't be accurately answered, like the one about how often you eat meat. We fell in between on that one. And ditto for the airplane miles. One year I went to France twice, but many other years I didn't go anywhere by airplane, so I couldn't exactly figure out how to do that one either. I guess the bottom line, though, is that I'm not half as green as they'd like. :roll:

Kimmi, I couldn't for a million years imagine you in birkies or flowy skirts. Especially not after looking at those high heels you're lusting after! Maybe you're green because you use public transportation? Like taxis? :rofl:

Yeah Mer to da maid...Me neither. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but it's just not my style!
I do take the subway...and cabs only when it's raining or it's the weekend and I'm out super late.
I do want to save the manatees though. :wub:

i was as honest as i could be. i think what ran it up were my (work)driving habits, and my flying(25 hours) jet fuel pours major carbon into the air. and, my industry creates a heck of a lot of non-recycleables
