(Image from http://www.mfe.govt.nz/publications/about/environz/environz-mar08/images/ecological-footprint-illustration.jpg_I scored 4.7 Earths. I thought that the score would be better. In my household, we recycle a lot more than most and rarely use the air conditioner or heater. Other than groceries, we do not really buy much. We also live 5 minutes from school and the Gulf Coast Town Center so we don’t use that much gas and often go shopping or to the movies etc.. together in one car. To help make the score better we can buy more organic foods, as well as take less time in the showers. Playing hockey I take at least two a day and my roommate likes to take baths. So water consumption could get much better. Those could just be the start of cleaning up the house even more for the environment. This quiz definitely was very incite full. I never realized that it would take that many whole planets to keep up with my lifestyle. Its very eye opening.
