What’s Your Ecological Footprint?

Take the quiz at ecofoot.org and post it as a comment. My results are as follows:

CATEGORY ACRES
FOOD 6.9
MOBILITY 0
SHELTER 3.7
GOODS/SERVICES 2.5
TOTAL FOOTPRINT 13

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 2.9 PLANETS.

    Ok I am going to be higher then you guys since I live at home not a small apt so that is why my shelter is so high. I also think that the goods/services is based off the shelter but I am still better then the average for the country not by much but I am trying to look at the bright side.
