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.

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:
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...

Though I certainly wonder why the number of worldwide biologically productive global hectares per person is different in everyone's results. |
