If everyone lived my lifestyle, we would need 3.97 Earths. I don't know if this was completely accurate though considering I live in a tiny apartment and some of the questions were slightly confusing. My housing footprint was 5.64 which was way less than the country's average at 31.58. The only thing that I was higher in than the country's average was my food footprint. I picked my diet to be more of a carnivorous one, although I want to try to change my eating habits to include more vegetables. With a college budget, it is not that easy to always shop at Farmer's Markets and to buy organic in supermarkets. In addition, with all my school work as well as having a job, it is hard to cook a real dinner at times. Overall, I think my footprint was low enough, and it has been reduced a lot from when I last did the ecological footprint quiz a few years back. In order to reduce my footprint further, I would have to change my diet as well as use more energy saving appliances in my apartment. I will even carpool more and drive less.
