So back to the OP: I finally re-did the quiz (I had done it a long time ago and can't remember how I did). I'm surprised at how big your footprint is! How is it over 5? My footprint WITH the business travel I do for work is 5.6, BUT when I took that out to just look at my personal impact, it was 3.9. And I have a car, live in a single-family house, etc.Originally Posted by UltraliteAngler
This environmental/ecological/carbon footprint calculator http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/i...e/calculators/ is really interesting.
Apparently for everyone in the world to live the life of The UltraliteAngler we'd need access to the resources of 5.4 Earths! Whoa!
Take a few minutes if you like and play with the calculator.
How many Earths do we need for your lifestyle?
I ran a scenario for what it would be if I downsized, and I went from 3.9 to 3.3.
What were your biggest impacts? I'm just curious, because you definitely seem to be a simpler-living person than I am.
