11 acres or 11 planets?

A scean shot of my results:[]

Ah, my best friend took this quiz a while ago - I remember she was shocked at how bad her results were, given that she lives in a tiny apt in the city and walks to work.

Mine was:
 
food - 2.5
mobility - 0.2
shelter - 4.7
goods/services - 4.4
Total footprint - 12
 
The average for Americans is 24 acres. If everyone lived like me we'd need 2.7 planets. [&:]

Eeek!  This is a bit shocking.  My total footprint is an 8, which I guess comparitively speaking is not bad, but we would need 1.8 planets if everyone lived like me???  omg. 
 
Food - 4
Mobility - 0.2
Shelter - 2.2
Goods/Services - 1.7
 
I guess the no car/subway riding saved me!  Anyway - I know my footprint is bigger than this, the questions just didn't dig deeply enough.

18, lower than average.  It didn't seem to ask enough questions to give a good answer.

10, but ya know they didn't count all the meat my dogs eat or the poop they generate!

Sad - I live in a very rural area but we don`t raise livestock or plan a garden. That is where my food 6.9 comes from I guess.

Oh sorry....acres....and the planets were 2.5 I believe? It's because we never go anywhere lol! I walk most places myself and we really have a small area we drive in.

Wow. I'm horrible. Let's take into account there is NO GOOD public transportation in Michigan...and I live 40 miles away from work. Guess I eat like a pig too!

Mine was 12.  I think it's because I work so close to home and DH works fro home so he doesn't really drive all that much during the week
 
I heard this terminology before on the Ed Bagley Jr. show on HGTV.  Interesting show - he is definitely green!  There are some funny parts too since his wife isn't as green as him and they sometimes go at it.[]

17 here.  If everyone lived like me, we'd need 3.8 planets. [:'(] I didn't think I was that bad.
