Think you are living sustainably on earth? Doing your best to protect the ecology? You may be suprised to find out just how much damage you as an idividual are doing to the planet. What's your Ecologic Footprint?

Ecologic Footprint

4.5 for me and mine . . . average Down Under is purportedly 7.6!

Well, I got 5.7, slightly above average for the UK. I'm not too sure how they worked out my consumption of "goods and services" from the info they asked for.

My ecological footprint was 4.9. In Canada, we have an average footprint of almost 9. OUCH!

4.2 for me. There is a reason that Canada is so high - it's cold here, with a short growing season, and everywhere is far from everywhere else.

My total footprint is 2.4 (for a Dutch average of 4.8). I guess it helps that I don't drive a car and don't eat meat.
