Your Ecological Footprint

I got 2.9 so I'm reasonably happy with that. I'd do even better if we had public transport around here so I could get rid of my car.

Do read the FAQ's on the site, it is only at a basic level, and doesn't take account of recycling etc which we can and lots of us do to reduce the footprint. According to the information they are hoping to make it better.

Thanks Squeaky for spotting this needed to spin off as a thread.

mine was 2.2 :j which I'm actually pretty pleased with as It would of been 5.4 2 years ago. I am now ready to take the next step and move into my own little eco house with natural water supply from a stream and solar panels for elec and go compleately self sufficient. BUt Thats a dream and probably a fair few years away.

Mine was 3.1 - not great and we do produce more rubbish than our neighbours, regardless of how much we recylce!
I blame that on the kids though!

OMG mine was 3.5, 1.9 planets better turn the laptop off to start saving energy! I am mortified, must try MUCH harder. We drive to work everyday as we live in london but work in hertfordshire, public transport would take 2 hours (and cost a bomb) whereas driving is 30 minutes, my hubby and I work together though so we go in the same car. Eat v.little meat, live in a one bed flat, cycle at weekends - Must get some more ideas on what to do next to save the planet.
