What is your impact on the environment?

Holy crap! and I thought I was doing a somewhat decent job at being somewhat environmentally concerned. I blame it on the fact that I live in a large city. But really, I'm going to do my best at being somewhat environmentally aware, and not pay that much attention to these types of quizzes which are, at best, pretty inaccurate.

[Drops of Jupiter]

It looks as if I need 4.5 planets.
Didn't think much of the survey though. Not very scientific, far too few questions to be worthwhile or even an accurate yardstick.

eM.

Sorry but i question their calculations - something seems amiss. Not knowing the metric system, I could have marked the wrong answers.

And i agree the above comment - i too live in a large metropolitan area - but my living space is far from the "norm."in my opinion.

[treanir]

Meh.

I had to answer a question about the mileage on my car. I don't even own a car...

[M4P]

Very interesting

My footprint was 10.5 and it said Canadian average is 8.8. Guess I better make some changes

Looks like gmoney is the only one giving me a run for my money

[T-Rexx]

If everyone lived like me, we'd need 15.8 planets!

So some of you guys better get off.

What the hell is a hecktare? Is it like a kilopascal?

And I work at home, don't commute.

I agree this is a pretty simple survey. It means very little

[Swellegant]

If everyone lived like me, we'd need five planets.

But then, if four fifths of the people on the planet stopped reproducing, everyone could live like me. A good argument for birth control, if you ask me.

Amen. I have compact fluorescent bulbs and i recycle and it would still take 6.8 planets to live like me and I haven't finished consuming yet. So get those tubes tied people! We should not have to live like hermits just so people can go on blindly reproducing.

We're going to need some more planets.

I guess I'm using up 5.2 planets. It's my very long commute in my car right now.

Hate to say it,

but I think this quiz is BS!

I'm a vegatarian who recycles everything, plus I live in a tiny box. No way do I consume more than the average canadian. Plus I use public transport!

Lies I tell you, all lies!!
