Have you ever wondered how much your lifestyle impacts our planet? The Global Footprint Network has a calculator quiz that may give you an idea. A series of simple questions about the food you eat, how you travel, and where you live reveals how much or how many Earths it would take to support life if everyone lived as you do. After the quiz, there are options to explore ways to reduce your ecological footprint.
I took the quiz half-seriously and found out that six planets would be necessary to sustain life as I live it. I need to take some drastic actions to reduce my ecological footprint, including eating more locally grown foods and limiting air travel each year.
I challenge you to take the quiz yourself and share your results.
