Funny, I live in a studio apartment and I don't own a car-- but if everyone lived like me, we'd need 4.3 earths. Why? Must be because I have the audacity to eat meat.

Not only that, but you probably have food shipped rather than eating locally grown stuff. Driving long distances apparently uses more acreage too. Yeah...right.

I live in Manhattan, where are we supposed to "grow stuff locally"? On our fire escapes? It's ALL gotta be shipped in, baby...

You can't win with these environuts. I thought they WANTED us all living in similar population-dense areas like Manhattan, but apparently I leave too big a footprint by living in one room by myself and taking public transportation-- all because I eat meat, have running water, and don't live like a mole in the unelectrified dark...

Yeah, Earthies that want only locally grown food must be willing to accept that the people in New York City will eat hardly any steak while those living in Amarillo will eat nothing but steak.

I noticed the vegetarian sway as well. What a joke.
Oh, I am 4.6 planets. Guess I'll have to make the kids walk that 12 miles home from school.
