Measure your current consumption habits and their demand on the environment.
The Eco-Footprint Quiz is a quick, private online test that will yield provocative and insightful results based on your responses to 15 questions. Your environmental impact [or eco-footprint] is calculated and expressed in terms of the number of acres that are required to sustain your current level of consumption.
The results will appear in a graphic table [my results below]
So, while my "Total Footprint" [17 acres] is below the US average of 24, neither score is anywhere near sustainable as worldwide there are only 4.5 biologically productive acres per person.

I got a 19...ouch. However the arrival of the motorcycle and more bicycle brings me down to 14-15. The continued direction in green diet brings me down to 13. I was surprised to see that my footprint was comprised almost entirely of housing.
This quiz is super neat!
I got a 6, but that may also be because I am poor and hungry :). It also helps when you've got everything you need within 1 mile of your residence and you're in a bicycle gang.
Hi Phil,
I scored a 10 but that seems easy when one considers that I live alone and live within a mile from work. I look forward to seeing your garden later this morning.
wow, I got a 22. Most of my points came from the fact that I live alone in a freestanding (and sort of enormous, for one person) house with indoor plumbing and electricity. Never mind that I have no car and all that.
12
And I can't BELIEVE I don't get extra points for bringing my own mug to Starbucks.
stinky jose'exclaimed, "16! I beat you, and that's all that really matters.ha!"
Okay, I suck! My score was a whopping 39! Even though I live in a tiny house all by myself and recycle religously, it would take 8 planets to sustain me! So I guess the rest of you people better get off my rock and get busy finding 7 more just like it! Sheesh! Thank you for this shocking link....now I will slither away and try and remedy this situation!
