In the beginning...

I just took this quiz:
http://www.myfootprint.org/
I was as honest as possible and leaned toward the worst (well, that’ll make it easier to improve, right?)
CATEGORY ACRESFOOD 3.7
MOBILITY 1SHELTER 5.2
GOODS/SERVICES 5.7
TOTAL FOOTPRINT 16
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 3.5 PLANETS.
I’m surprised I didn’t fare worse on mobility. I don’t live near stores or work, and drive nearly everywhere. My car isn’t a guzzler, but, eh…
