CATEGORY GLOBAL HECTARES
FOOD 0.7
MOBILITY 0.4
SHELTER 1.8
GOODS/SERVICES 1.2
TOTAL FOOTPRINT 4.1
IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 5.3 GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON. WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 1.8 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 2.3 PLANETS.
Last year, my result was 1.8 planets, so we are getting worse not better. our food has improved, as we buy from farmers markets and local farm store as much as poss, and also grow our own. the car usage up as I live further from work, and use it more days. The shelter also up - as Leeds house more modest.
Chris would do better, using the car less. Our house is somewhat larger than our needs.
