your footprint

how do you rate?

as for me:
my total footprint: 5.2
food: 3.3
mobility: 0
shelter: 1.1
goods/services 0.8

if everyone lived like me, we would need 2.9 planets.

FOOD 5.2
MOBILITY 0.2
SHELTER 4.4
GOODS/SERVICES 4.2
TOTAL FOOTPRINT 14

If everyone lived like me, we would need 3.2 planets.

It's very rough though. I'm horrible at estimating.

Thank you for posting that site mattlynda. It certainly makes you aware of how much damage we are inflicting on our planet. I am appalled at my result. My only defence is that I am unable to walk far, but there are many other things that I could change to improve my rating and I certainly intend to!

FOOD 1.3

MOBILITY 0.3

SHELTER 2.6

GOODS/SERVICES 2.6

TOTAL FOOTPRINT 6.8

WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 1.8 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.

IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 3.8 PLANETS.

Hey, that's way better than me, Karrow.

FOOD 0.8

MOBILITY 0.1

SHELTER 1

TOTAL FOOTPRINT 2.9


IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 9 GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.

IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 1.6 PLANETS

I scored wicked bad, like if everyone lived like me, we would need over 5 planets. Surprisingly (?), that's the average score in the US. Will I change? Not likely. I hate veggie food. My beat up car car is not a luxury, it's a necessity. Sorry, I refuse to live by candlelight, and the air conditioning was the only saving grace in this ridiculously hot summer. I wish I could change; good for the environment, good for my pocketbook. But just not meant to be.

Nice post, Mattlynda!
