i am disappointed

My environmental footprint takes up a mere 5.7 planets. I thought I needed more room than that.

5.3 here and i thought i was a pretty wasteful person.

I think you need a turbocharged sports car, and more meat in your diet. Works for me. :)

My goal in life is around 25 planets. If that doesn't spur on teraforming, nothing will.

Bunch of enviroweenies. 9.3 planets.

9.1 baby!

I rated 6.9 planets. If we need all those extra planets, we'd better hurry up and start finding them. Burt Rutan will save us!

Kind of a skewed poll. I live in the country..no public trans..no work nearby..passive and active solar gain...well water..drive 110 miles to Oak Ridge round trip to work..drive only American vechicles..8.9 planets, and they're mine, all mine. My footprint has an extended middle toe for their obvious bias.

haha, it takes 33 acres to support my lordly ass each year. If everyone were like me then we'd need 7.5 Earths. I guess some of us know how to live, and some just don't. >:)

I think it really hated that I eat a lot of meat, never use public transport & drive a low mpg truck.

Wow! I only need 3.5 planets....and I was answering those questions on the high side. The rest of you people are planet hogs!! (*grins*)

3.7... I am ashamed. I need to get to work! Where's my baby seal club?

It appears that it is area specific, so if you happen to live in a "good" country, you can be wastefull and score low. I read one blog where the person put Ghandi in Chicago and an incredibly wastefull person in India, and Ghandi had a higher score. Kinda funny how biased the test is.

I answered it as honestly as possible and I came up with a score of: 12.9

I yield to the G-Man.

I just wonder what kind of score I would have gotten if you figured in the 24,000 tons of coal per hour that I used to burn at my last job or the 42 million cubic feet of natural gas that I burn a day now???

NOX in the morning. Smells like victory!

I NEED MONEY.

Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They're never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal.
