What is your ecological footprint?

[emily_in_nc]

Kids have their own footprint.

The calculation is just for yourself (ex: if there's four people in your household, then each has its own footprint).

Ah, I see. So even though my individual footprint is high, my DH's would be lower (since he's retired and rarely drives), and since we have no children, our total "household footprint" could be lower than a larger family's.

I feel a tiny bit better now.

CATEGORY ACRES
FOOD 4.9
MOBILITY 0.7
SHELTER 5.7
GOODS/SERVICES 4.4
TOTAL FOOTPRINT 16



IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 24 ACRES PER PERSON.

we'd need 3. some planets if everyone lived like me!!!

I've been avoiding this thread because I know i could do better.

no, Emily the more people per house the better.
