I have just calculated my family’s ecological footprint. It is not good. We are living as if there are 1.9 planet’s resources available for us to squander. OOOPS!!!!!
I have done this type of calculation before but it was a British version. I like the fact that this one is designed for Australians.
What is your ecological footprint????
*edited to add….
Please don’t let the fact that this is an ‘Australian’ calculator thingy put you off doing the test.. cheers kim

I’m American, my footprint is more like an SUV tire track. Sigh.
Dawns last blog post..Hai-kyoot Friday
Mine was 2.1, so room for improvement. Loved the calculator!
Casdoks last blog post..Visits to new home
I use 1.8, also room for improvement. My house (unit) is rented however so I can’t do much about the electricity etc, but I recycle the waste and grow some of my own fruit, I don’t drive, never fly, rarely take the bus,don’t buy clothes or appliances unless something breaks, so I really thought my footprint would be smaller.
3.6 planets.
btw the airplane featured, is Aer Lingue, the Irish national airline.

Waiting waiting. Man, I need to pee again. brb.

It has been stuck at 27% for ages. Sigh. Maybe 27 is a good number for me. Still waiting. Hang on, I’ll press submit so I don’t lose the comment.

I even had to refresh the silly calculator page. Tell me, why didn’t I do this at your house today?
Oh oh oh, it’s at 49% now. 66%, 69%, 84%
Woo, we are getting close! 100%! YAYAY
Boo, I think it froze. Tell me, do you like the commentary?
Oh wow, all that loaded was an avatar generator. I am loading the actual quiz now. Sheesh.
A Current Affair is doing another thing on getting babies to sleep. Gah, people are stupid. Some babies just don’t sleep!!!

interesting.
I don’t know about some of those calculators though. Like we don’t use public transport much cos we don’t have much of it. And there are some recycling stuff that our council won’t process.
Bettinas last blog post..Waking Children Part 2
Same here Bettina.I live in the country and the public transport is non-existent. Our house is built out of recycled materials.. etc etc
But I think that it is a pretty good tool to use to get an idea of how we can be just a bit less wasteful..
cheers kim
It would be a great tool if it would load. Hmmmph.

2.2 for me
Tazs last blog post..32 Weeks Old
I did it and it was 2.1 it said that I eat too many animals (it didn’t count that we get then from a butcher who’s animals are free ranging, living in paddocks instead of pens) and because I drive to work everyday I should catch public transport. Trust me, if there was pt available in my area I would be on it. Who wants to drive peak hour traffic everyday?
I got 2.1. I think it is badly skewed for Tassie, because we have no public transport.
Also, it growled at me about the food we eat. Hello, most of it is local and fresh! Sheesh.
