Thanks for sharing.
I did two, as I have been here for only weeks, but based on where I am in the USA: 14 acres / 4.5 Earths
Based on my previous lifestyle in the UK: 5.1 acres / 3 Earths
That's amazing in itself, considering that I am the SAME person - so that shows how different the infrastructures, etc. are - or were for me, anyway.
:wow:

Seems that the limiting factor is the ability to find local food. We purchase our produce at the local farmers' market, but processed food comes from all over the world. I guess we could give up being a one-car to a no-car family to bring our number down.

I suppose it's the fact that I live in Houston and have to drive alot. Not much public trans. here...I also eat meat, buy food from the grocery store, and don't live in a green-design residence (not sure what that is) and that's bad apparently....
Well I think it's time that we start colonizing other planets. No, seriously...the canary has died.

4.6 planets for me?????
Wow. I'm ashamed.
In my defense, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I work at home, which this questionnaire doesn't seem to address. True, I don't take public transportation or ride a scooter. However, I don't have to drive everyday.
Oh, man. I feel terrible.
