Just a little test...I took it and found I my SCORE of 431 is about 100 points above the average for the USA!

My carbon output is 21 tons per year.

My GOAL IS TO INCREASE MY CARBON OUTPUT THIS YEAR!

I'll turn a new leaf over on July 7, 2007. I promise to BURN MORE CARBON.

Oh yeah, and if you go to "liveearth.org", these scam jobbers have a "buy carbon offsets" link....WHAT A HOAX!!!!!!!!!!!

A year!? I emit 21 tons of carbon before breakfast. Thank G_d for all those off-sets I purchased. There must be an entire 3rd world country standing idle to off-set my carbon output.

I have no idea what my carbon output is,but my methane output is pretty good. I believe Al Gore breathes the methane output and then comes up with these phony money making schemes.

575, but I promised to check my tire pressure and plant a tree, which I was gonna do anyway at my 1500 sf house that I live alone in.

My 2 Jeeps and my new crewcab 4x4 pickup probably didn’t help either.

Burning energy means you are living.

Passive restraint means you are not living life to the fullest.

According to this, mine was about 348. But, I didn’t find a place to enter my tractor, two ATVs, and jetski. Didn’t find any place to mention burning brushpiles which I do fairly often.

260, 7 tons. But I have a wood pellet stove and burn about 2 1/2 tons of pellets a year, but couldn’t find any way to enter that!

IMHO not a very well designed test.

38 tons. Nice. Score was 678.
I think I’m gonna get a big generator for the garage. Maybe even add some two-stoke oil to the fuel. That should put me well over eight hundy.
I’ll be back in a few minutes. I’m gonna go test all the light switches in the house.

I was thinking, for those of you who want a higher score, I’ve got an idea. Next time you change your oil, dig a hole in the yard and dump the used oil there.
If any enviro-kooks complain, just throw a picture of GWB in the hole and call it “art”. You’ll probably even win some kind of “green” award and raise your score, all at the same time.

This is city bullshiq. There was no place for horses or motorcycles for transportation, fireplace for heating, not using city water or sewage, and providing one’s own food, vegetables etc..

My carbon was 415 or 19 tons of carbon footprint. Bull!! no way I produce 19 tonnes of junk....it takes me three weeks to fill up a bag of trash.

354 14 tons and like you nowhere to enter the tractor and riding mower or brush piles. But also nowhere to enter the 200 acres of grassland with about 5 acres of trees.
