Ecological Footprint Quiz

We received the coolest thing in our daily bite today (see our original post on Ideal Bite). The topic was “Holiday Travel Offsets” and one of the links that they featured was My Footprint – an ecological footprint quiz that calculates how much “nature” your lifestyle requires. By clicking through the quiz you specify what country you live in and then answer a few different questions such as “How often do you eat locally,” “How much gas mileage does your car get,” and so on. The results are noted by how many planets it would take if everyone lived like you did. We like the caution note: “This quiz may surprise you, shock you or make you think. Please remain calm…but not too calm!” Thankfully ours wasn’t that overwhelming, but we admit we still have some changes to make. Via ::Ideal Bite ::My Footprint
