I took a little quiz in my environmental science class today, and it was really interesting. I'm curious how people around here will score.

It's called the Ecological Footprint quiz... it basically tells you how much of the world's resources you take up in your lifestyle. With the number of people in the world, there are only 4.5 biologically productive acres per person... so keep that in mind.

Link to quiz

Here are my results, which are horrible compared to the worldwide numbers, but fantastic compared to the US numbers

CATEGORY ACRES
FOOD 5.9
MOBILITY 1
SHELTER 3.7
GOODS/SERVICES 4.2
TOTAL FOOTPRINT 15

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 3.3 PLANETS.

Be sure to share your scores. It's not too long of a quiz, so don't worry.

EDIT: Aaaaand I just realized after a few people took it, that the units may be different... US and Metric. So 2.5 hectares (or whatever that is) is equivelant to 1 acre.

For conversion, 1 hectare is about 2.5 acres. Apparently I'm pretty bad when it comes to food.

I took it again but changed my answers to reflect living in the appartments that I used to live in and am about to move back to, and having my car back instead of the truck, which will be the case when I move, and I got a total footprint of 14. But they're not factoring in cubic footing or the fact that a lot of product comes from the sea or underground, so thier system is seriously flawed in favor of thier propaganda.

This test isn't set up very well. When it asks how big your town is, I assume it means population, but with no units given it could be referring to physical size or something.
Also:
13. How many liters per 100 kilometers does your car consume?

I can't choose "I don't have a car"? When I do take one (rarely) it's a taxi, and hell if I know how efficient they are.

Anyway...

Sounds bad, but look at the average. Though I certainly wonder why the number of worldwide biologically productive global hectares per person is different in everyone's results.

I don't reallly get the goods/services one though. It probably would been a bit lower if I still actually did live with others and stuff. I wonder what gave a boost to Goods/Servies though since I almost only transport with public transportation. Hmm.. and live in a small apartment.

Crap, I managed to vote wrong too. Was supposed to take the top choiche. xDD

The only thing I could find that I do that's "bad" would be driving 300 miles a week in a 25 mpg car. Otherwise I walk a lot and don't eat that much. Bargh for Earth Day.
