    I think that mine might be a little high. I eat alot of meat, but it is from deer that we harvest here; not factory-farmed animals. Not sure.. I try to conserve where I can and recycle too.. I think that they should include that :)

    Ok, I'm bad... but that's mostly because I'm poor and can't afford good foods.

    SHELTER 4.2

    IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 24 ACRES PER PERSON.

    IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 2.9 PLANETS.

    You guys are getting better results than me. I've done a few things to start minimizing my footprint. I now turn off all lights, computers, t.vs, ect. when I leave the room. I'm going to start a compost heap to reduce garbage output. I am also shortening my shower times to reduce water usage. :gj: Baby steps. :D

    thats great that you're trying. Most people would be like, "Oh, mine's high. Oh well. I'm living comfortably."
