So, considering the number of fellow world-dwellers there are, my lifestyle suggest there are 3.83 worlds to support my current lifestyle (I think I have that right). According to the World Wildlife Funds' Ecological Footprint Calculator I am living beyond the world's means. Weird...I don't heat my house, have consistent electricity or have disposable income for world-depleting gallivants. I do try to buy local produce (except Granny Smith apples from Washington) and whenever possible I do try to recycle (however, the barrio has yet to implement a Blue Box program). Today I even brought my own bowl to buy morro so I wouldn't have to use sytrofoam.
3.83 worlds?
Well, take a look at the quick & easy online survey HERE and let me know if you are more eco-friendly. The least world-depleting person wins a steak dinner, a limo ride, and a gift card to a WAL-Mart Supercenter.

I'm such an under-achiever... I registered only 3.64 Earths. Good thing I refuse to feel guilty for enjoying my life.
On a side note, I thought it was kind of funny that 22 degrees C was considered "hot".
2.23...different from other footprint calculators I've tried. All year my grade 2 class looked at the question, "What does it mean to leave a footprint?" Definitely a hot topic right now
See you in a few weeks!

1.93 earths. I walk everywhere. And I have no money. So I don't buy organic but neither do I fly much anymore. :)
