I took the quiz; here are my results...
YOUR TOTAL ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT
15 ACRES
IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 24 ACRES PER PERSON.
WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 4.5 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE ACRES PER PERSON.
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 3.4 PLANETS.
OUCH.
I don't know how accurate this quiz is, but I know there's some truth behind it.
THIS is why I feel constantly guilty. What can I do?
I think I'm gonna eat less meat. Like, once every other day TOPS. I've been reading a lot about it for the last few years. The costs of meat production are ridiculous. It's a very wasteful process; with all the water and grain we use to raise livestock, we could be feeding hungry people. Plus it's not all that good for you.
Please don't take my word for it.
