Then find out how many earth's we would need to sustainably support humanity if everybody was the same. I roll in at 2.9 global hectares, of which most of that is down to food. It's very good compared to the UK average which is 5.3hectares/person but unfortunately we would still need 1.6 worlds for it to be sustainable. Its certainly food for thought. Edit: The FAQ is interesting reading too: http://www.rprogress.org/newprojects/ecolFoot/faq/ [ 01-16-2005, 05:42 AM: Message edited by: shamrock_uk ] |

I needed 1.8. I did it at school as well. But IIRC it was flawed cause of some questions.

2.2 planets, and most of it was probably the living space.
I can't but to wonder what this test really shows. Does it take into account hat you can use the same hectar in a energy efficient and non energy efficient manner? According to this test, in order to get just one planet, you'll almost need to be 7 vegetarian people living in a 30 m2 Green-design house with no electricity, and uses only your legs, a bicycle or some form of animal for transportation.
