My Results........... 5.61 Earths.......Total...217.59........
Carbon Footprint...64
Food...............65
Housing............40
Goods & Services...47


I've been working on reducing mine, ....I use 100% Wind Energy for electricity(our city offers that at nearly the same price as coal or gas fueled electricity), recycle everything, CFL blubs, etc...but still a long way to go.

2. 3.5 earths. Needs work.......sigh.

Not so good on transportation in large part due to the 4000 mi RT annual Christmas vacation to visit family (nonnegotiable) and my persistent failure to utilize the mass transit available. Still better than average.

I'm really good in the housing and goods categories. Fair in food - probably should go vegetarian, but can't quite bring myself to do it yet.
