My eco-foot print

On August 19th 2010, I took this eco-foot print quiz on line. Here are my results

Carbon footprint

M= 79.37

A= 91.43

Food Footprint

M=52.59

A= 65.74

Housing Footprint

M=41.5

A=31.58

Goods and Services

M=27.08

A=57.66

Total = 200.54

If everyone on earth lived my lifestyle, we would need 5.17 earths

Marine Fisheries: 39.58 ( 19.74%)
Pastureland Footprint : 54.58 (27.22%)
Cropland Footprint : (11.92%)
Forestland Footprint: 82.48 ( 41.13%)

See, there is room for improvement here. Because I took this quiz in August, I want to take it again now and see if there is any difference. The only thing that can't change much is my housing footprint because we live in a big house.

It's been a while since I started this blog. I'm working on everything. I started taking way shorter showers (4 minutes?) and I've been composting cardboard now.

I did buy a magazine though and I've been driving the same amount that I usually do so, there are some habits I need to change. And, I forgot my reuseable bags yesterday and I went out to lunch. It will be a slow process, but it will get better.

I'm trying to reuse stuff too. I used an old bread bag as a lunch bag the other day.

I'm getting there.
