What is your ecological footprint?
Get a bicycle. You will not regret it if you live.

Not good at all...and here I thought we were doing better than average (except for my admittedly long drive to work):
CATEGORY ACRES
FOOD 4.7
MOBILITY 5.7
SHELTER 9.4
GOODS/SERVICES 10.4
TOTAL FOOTPRINT 30
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 6.8 PLANETS.

This has to be because I can't convert the metric figures, right?
If Everyone Lived Like Me, We Would Need 4.7 Planets.

Apparently I am completely average using 8.8 hectares
And we'd need 4.9 planets. I should have counted the dogs and cats as people in the house - I bet that would help! Can we count the bikes as people, too? heehee
