It's Earth Day. Find out how evil you are.

My Footprint ^

[Valin]

If everyone live like your humble servant it would take 4 earths. I'm so ashamed of myself. :-( I was hoping for more, it's obvious that in the coming year I will have to buckledown and try harder.

[lilmsdangrus]

Me too. Oh, marone, I guess I better commit hari-kari now to stop all the destruction my life is doing. WAHMBULANCE,PLEASE!!

[surely_you_jest]

Gee, I only got 16 planets. I feel so, well, inadequate . . . .

[bootless]

Oh, that's nothing! I drive 36 miles each way to work - I need 9.2 planets. I guess I get the whole solar system plus Planet X.

[lugsoul]

I'm there with ya. Think I'll walk out and hug a tree.

CATEGORY ACRES

FOOD 4.2

MOBILITY 2

SHELTER 4.2

GOODS/SERVICES 4.2

TOTAL FOOTPRINT 15

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 3.3 PLANETS.

[NittanyLion]

7.5 planets. Woohoo!

[NittanyLion]

I take up 0.8 hectares.

Did I mention I'm an 8 year old Kenyan boy who eats locally grown, unprocessed vegan food, lives with 7 other people in a 20 square meter home without water or electricity, and never travels except on an animal?

[Dog]

8.2 planets here....!!!!!

[M Kehoe]

4.2 planets. I must be slipping.

5.56mm

[DonnDe]

I was also wondering whether the survey was country-specific. I entered as a suburban Chicagoan (4.4 earths) and then pretended to live in France with the same responses and only used up 2.8 earths. At first I was confused. Then I realized that taking a bath more than one a week must use almost 2 earths.

[bootless]

Ha. I took the quiz again, living in a city of between 10 - 100K people, and then selected the absolutely most primitive conditions: vegan diet, no running water or electricity, never driving or riding a motor vehicle, never flying, 500 sq foot house, etc - you know, their ideal conditions.

I *still* took up more than one planet: 1.1 planets. I guess it's time to move out of a populated town, eh? This quiz is seriously flawed! (obviousness alert)

[Liberal Classic]

I'm a slacker, you beat me by 4 planets. I guess I'll buy that Chevelle SS I've been looking at.

[bootless]

How did you get 21.2 planets? The most I could jimmy was 16!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Utah Girl]

I lied through my teeth, and my footprint would still take up 1.5 earths. I think they rig the quiz, so that we feel guilty for living in the US. Now I'll go back and really take the quiz.

[technochick99]

21 planets for me! I fly a lot for work, and I drive a lot on the weekends transporting dogs to rescues, fosters, and forever homes.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Answer on question Nine...Moterbike (zero)

No allowance for Harley-Davidson?!?

[strider44]

"HAHA! I'm at 4.9.
I'm eviler than you are, I'm eviler than you are!"

I guess I'm Satan incarnate with 17.7

[HiTech RedNeck]

OK, Harley Davidson motorbike gets 30 mpg. 7.9 planets. Am I a planetary hawg yet?

[94Revolution]

No allowance for Harley-Davidson?!?

Actually that was my real answer too. I don't have a motorbike...motorcycle or even a moped. So no allowance for something I don't have. But like I said answering like I did (faking it) gave one earth.

[Flying Circus]

Only 7.2 planets. I need to get a bigger place out in the country, and buy some larger cars so I can use up more. I'm disappointed with myself.
