How many planet Earth's would you take up?
Actually, it's how many planet earth's would we need if everyone in the world lived like you.
I did rather well, we only need 1.4 earths if everyone lived like me. http://www.earthday.net/footprint/index.asp See how you fare.

Hmmm, I came in at 3.3 earths - mostly because I have to use personal transportation more than I'd like because of the lousy regional transport design (and I live in an area noted for better design in America). I also still have a couple of vehicles that get under 25mpg --- but we're rectifying that this year.

It says, 6 billion me would need 2.2 earth. Though I guess since my country is not really overpopulated, this seems to be okay (I guess if every place on earth was like germany, only 1.3 billion people would exist (and declining)... I guess 1.3 billion me need only half a earth then).

2.4 with footprint of 4.4
*looks at other posters* Mmm.. must be because of all the transport needs. @ Skyfall Hey you got the same as me but you got phantom's footprint. Phantom-san did you lie :3 ------------------------------------- Lucky we have the moon, ok that covers .5 yearths, with Mars we should be close enough. Ok no prob then

Footprint of 9 and 5 planets would be needed. >< Although the average for my country is apparantly 8.8. Then again they always say that Canada is one of the biggest wasters. 3.7 of my footprint is from food alone. Its not my fault that I like meat and fresh veggies are almost always imported since we can't grow all that much here. Okay it is my fault that I like meat....

Footprint of 18 and 3.9 planets. Though I find it amusing that it didn't consider the fact that my entire score is actually divided across three people. I was bailed out because my car is a 34/38 mpg.
CATEGORY ACRES FOOD 5.7 MOBILITY 0.5 SHELTER 5.7 GOODS/SERVICES 5.7 TOTAL FOOTPRINT 18 IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 24 ACRES PER PERSON. IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 3.9 PLANETS.
