Eco Footprint

Being a student of development studies, this site was of interest....

http://www.ecofoot.org/

Im not sure as to how accurate it really is and whether it actually has anything useful to offer, but nonetheless it does have some value and does touch on some important everyday things people 'could' change in their lives to make a difference in the world.

So my marks are....
CATEGORY (GLOBAL HECTARES)
FOOD (1.5)
MOBILITY (0.1)
SHELTER (0.6)
GOODS/SERVICES (0.6)
TOTAL FOOTPRINT (2.8)

Apparently if everyone lived like me, we'd need 1.6 planets hahaha. opps. Still, Im better than the average..(4.8 total footprint). Seems my meat eating habits cost me dearly!
