Ecological footprint

[Drowned Rat]

This is a pretty cool site that lets you figure out how much of the earth's resources you consume relative to other people from around the world. My footprint on the earth is 16 acres, which means if everybody on earth consumed at the same rate as me, there would need to be 3.6 earths to sustain it all. I'll try and do better. <br /><br /> web page

Gee, 2.7 earths. I bet nobody scores low on this test, it would defeat the purpose of the site.

Re: Ecological footprint

I did it, I got close with 1.1 earths. I have to become a vegan that gets all my food locally, I have to get a 500 sqft house for my wife and 2 children to live in (with no electricity). I have to get rid of my car and walk, use public transportation or motorcycle (but only if I always carry a passenger). The world is lost because everyone is supposed to live in 3rd world conditions.
