ECO-PING
FReepmail me to be added or removed to the ECO-PING list!
The ECO-ping is back after a few months off. A new job, a move, and the general stresses of life didn't leave me much time to peruse my favorite Internet hangout. While I still won't have the time to flood all of your ping lists with several articles a day, I will be chiming in on a regular basis (for better or worse).
What a better article to get back into things with than this that further exposes the hypocrisy of the earth-friendly left!!
"This is not meant to obstruct," said Bishop. Developers say otherwise. And they say these local rules are driving housing costs out of sight. "They're typically a tool to thwart construction or development of any kind," said Ben Osgood, a builder and developer from North Andover. ''The applicant is held hostage in these cases."
Hence, it requires 4.87 Earths to support each member of the present human population at your standard of living.
I did even worse than you. That is probably due to the fact I currently live in a large city. Now I'm going to go back and take the quiz answer it with all the proper answers...wonder if its possible to be sustainable?
well the results are in...according to this website its impossible to live sustainably.
"Your choice means the following: You believe that every person should be able to live a satisfying life within an average of 1.47 hectares. Worldwide, the biologically productive space available per person is 2.2 hectares, or 5.4 acres. Hence, it requires 1.44 Earths to support each member of the present human population at your standard of living."

I know its a repeat but I missed it yesterday. I always thought the concept of an ecological footprint was somewhat amusing. At what point do humans get removed from the ecosystem? What is a sustainable footprint? What size footprints do other species have?
Do you really think that the dust mites in the carpet, spiders in the basement and potato bugs in the garage would outnumber the number of organism's in a couple of thousand square feet of Appalachian wilderness?
I must have misread your post. The diversity outside in any setting would be much higher than in a home. I thought you were saying that humans outnumbered other species within your home.
