Ever wanted to see just how much of a footprint you leave on the earth? WELL NOW YA CAN!

Just visit http://www.ecofoot.org/ and take the quiz, make a cool little avatar person, and tell us how many earths it'll take for you!

According to this quiz, if everybody lived like me, it's take 3.3 Earths. That surprised me, I only use the public bus, I'm a strict vegetarian, and I have mostly energy efficient things in my house. But I can't change everything, not yet. When I move away from the apartment I live in now, I'm planning on using only solar energy, being a full-out vegan, only using buses, trains, and bikes, and even growing my own garden. If I have a big enough backyard, I might possibly have a couple sheep, and then I could spin my own yarn to knit with! =D
If everybody lived like that, it would use... 3 earths?! surprised That has to be a load of crap. I retook it to choose everything as the most eco-friendly choice, and it still said 2.7. How is that possible? Most people are way, way worse than I am about being eco-friendly, and humans are still confined to Earth, as polluted as it is. I appreciate that it's trying to raise awareness of global warming, but it's still lying. confused

But then, it might be true. If you think about it, there are tons of starving villages in Africa and those people don't have electricity or, much or anything for the most part. Upgrading everybody to a... "modern" lifestyle could be good for those people, but bad for the planet as a whole.

That's true, however i'm beginning to believe that one can be 100% eco-friendly, because we still got a longgggg way to go.

sweatdrop

We have a long way to go, so people can be 100% eco-friendly?
