Ecological Footprint

[perth]

Was gonna post this in "Cool Site..." but I thought it might deserve it's own thread.

My results:

CATEGORY | ACRES
FOOD | 4.2
MOBILITY | 0.7
SHELTER | 4.2
GOODS/SERVICES | 4.4
TOTAL FOOTPRINT | 14

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 3.1 PLANETS.

I make no claims as to it's accuracy, and leave it to people smarter than me to debate its validity vs. propaganda value. But I did find it interesting, and the questions asked gave me food for thought regarding a lot of my habits, especially travel.
