Quiz for ya

This website was in the paper today for the earth day celebrations. Take the short quiz and report how many acres it says you use/the number of planets that would be required. For me it was 14 acres and 3.2 planets.

I splurge I guess.....22 acres and 4.9 planets.

I manage to stay on my 2 acres and bother no one. I guess the daily trips to pick my son up from school did me in.

TOTAL FOOTPRINT 23 acres, 5.3 Planets

I was looking at some of the suggestions and thinking if I wanted to live like that I'd move to a third world country. I went back to see what it took to reduce my score to what they wanted and discovered a couple things. One is that you supposedly save 2 acres by being a vegan and the other is even if you use no mode of motorized transportation you still save 1 acre by riding the bus. Ya.................

I take up 19 acres and 4.3 planets.

I just want to say 'Thank You' to all the folks in the world who are conserving so that I can continue to live and work in the greatest country on Earth!
