What is your "Ecological Footprint"?

One way to think about environmental issues is called the "Ecological Footprint". It means, how much impact do YOU have on our precious Earth? Your food, your way of living, your hobbies... everything will make a "footprint" on Earth, both in good ways and bad.

The problem is that some people have a really huge footprint, while others are not getting enough... Our planet is not able to sustain the lifestyles of many of us.

Here is the online quiz to measure your impact on the Earth's resources. It is fun and easy. Start by clicking at the World map, to indicate what country you are living in:

Actually, when I did the quiz, I got the follwing result: "IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 2.1 PLANETS." Hmm! That is really not so good.

Let me know what you think of this quiz!
