How Green Are You? Calculate Your Ecological Footprint

An Ecological Footprint is the measurement used to calculate how much human pressure we place on our planet.
You can now find out your own individual pressure – at first it may horrify you but so long as you do something about it, that can only help.
I have just taken a test to find out what my Ecological Footprint is. What a shock! I am horrified to learn how high it is as I thought I was living “green”.
Global Footprint Network stated that if everyone lived the lifestyle of the average American, we would need 5 planets. My results stated I would need 4.6 planets.
I encourage everyone to take this test here www.ecofoot.org
