Destroying Planet Earth

Did the Earth Day Footprint Quiz. Shocking result. I'm just glad that there are less people like me, or we'd really have NO planet!

To scare yourself, I recommend you take the quiz. I think it's worse 'cause I'm in Hungary with the consumption of a Brit, plus I travel for my job, so my consumption is 3 times a typical Hungarian. Sigh.

Any tips on how to improve my footprint?

The sun is out today. Not sure how to take this. Will it last? Won't it?

TOTAL FOOTPRINT 3.2
IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 5.3 GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.
WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 1.8 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 1.8 PLANETS.

So I'm good for a Brit but still bad for the world :-(

No way! That's good. My footprint is 13.4

The average is 3.1 global hectares for Hungary, and if everyone lived like me we'd need 7.4 planets!

I'm like the America of my friends. Sigh... :(

I should still eat less pre-packaged crap. I use public transport alot and haven't travelled much this year, but might have to start swimming or build a raft to get to Montreal ;-)

3.8 compared to the UK average of 5.3

Only higher than K cos i use the car sometimes.

The same thing was done on the BBC christmas lectures this year, amongst other stuff. It scared the living shit out of me!
