Indoctrination, pure and simple. As a first-grader in the early 70s, I was shown maps illustrating how glaciers would destroy my city when the New Ice Age hit.
The enviros are always selling apocalypse in some form or another.

CATEGORY ACRES
FOOD 5.7
MOBILITY 20
SHELTER 7.2
GOODS/SERVICES 24.7
TOTAL FOOTPRINT 58
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 12.9 PLANETS.

I took the quiz and said I do not travel -0- miles per week. I am a house wife. But it still said for everyone to live like me it would take 4.6 plants. HA I do not believe that.

I missed the part of the quiz where they stated how many planets would be needed if “EVERYONE PRODUCED LIKE YOU”.

Um, try recalculating and include the below surface use of the planet. Scientists can be such dolts ...

Chicago, actually. Later that year we moved to Phoenix... had to stay one step ahead of the glaciers! ;-)

For some reason, I associate "Cleveland under 100' of ice" with all that breathless global cooling hysteria ...
Phoenix was a bad idea, though ... when the global warming hits, you're gonna fry!

Well, my footprint is only 21 acres per person (because I live in a household of six - I'm a
breeder.)
Don't tell the nice people, 'kay?

Beat you! My lifestyle requires 33 planets.
Master of all I survey, and of my 33 planets.

I’d like to meet the person with no electricity and no running water who is able to take this survey.

Very simplistic quiz...I guess I could have said I live in a cave , eat only homegrown veggies, and use a Yak to transport my water...and, they would still hate me because I am an American.

Why be angry? I love the space program, and this just tells me that we need expand it. Next stop, Mars.

Ask your kid if there’s a footprint printout for each and every teacher next to their classroom door.
If not, demand of the principal that they do so. Also demand that all teachers with a ‘large footprint’ post an improvement plan, and achieve significant improvement by next school year (an outcome based activity).
Also require ‘unhappy face’ stickers on the front and rear of all staff vehicles that get less than 30 mpg. Also demand the school be set to 66 degrees in winter and 78 degrees in summer.
This is just a start; there’s so many more ways to urge government school employees to walk their talk.
