Do I still have time to get all emotional about Gullible Warming before it's over and we're on to the next big scare? Hmm. Yeah, I'll just wait for the next one. Wonder what it will be?

I see another Stumbler already beat me to it, but I decided to see how low of a footprint I could create. The best I could do was 2.4 Earths, and that was for 7 vegans who never travel, eat only locally grown produce, almost never buy anything yet always recycle, and live in a house without electricity or running water.

What kind of anti-human garbage is this?

Anyway, my real result was 4.2 Earths, which is NOT FUCKING GOOD ENOUGH. I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I AM WORTH AT LEAST FIVE PLANETS.

Okay, I'm normally a "tree-hugger" type but this is stupid. To test it out, I said that I dont eat any meat/dairy at all, dont ever use electricity, recycle everything, never buy new stuff, and never travel anywhere - and it still said we'd need 3 planets to support my lifestyle! Inaccurate therefore rubbish: pretty, and cool if if worked, but I'd like to see it made accurate!

a very specific and eye-opening quiz. it even has a breakdown of your footprint in categories and ways to reduce it, with links to more information. well done.

4.4 worlds that's it. I thought I was better than that.
