------------------------------indeed. the footprinting thing is quite complex and this is just a basic introduction. It doesn't account for 'food miles' (the distances your food has to be transported etc) or many other things.

who cares, we'll all be dead by the time the world runs out of resources. Its our childrens children's problem.
j/k
we built something similar is Oz for the school kids

TOTAL FOOTPRINT 4.8
IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 4.8 GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.
WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 1.8 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 2.7 PLANETS.
=======well, i am on national average..hmm..

I'm the worst. I have to retake this.
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 8.9 PLANETS.
