msgirl 22-04-2006, 11:34 PM My total footprint is 5 and they say if everyone lived like me we'd need 2.8 planets.:mad2: W--E--L--L, howdy doody to them!!
Patsy 23-04-2006, 08:56 AM Total footprint 2.9, needing 1.6 planets. Sheesh, you Americans are soooooo wasteful.
Thing is, I have no clue as to how many litres my car uses to go 100km, or how many square km my house is. That was pure guesswork.
Critique 23-04-2006, 09:10 AM 1.9 planets here but as you say Patsy, had to guess at some of them - how many sq metres is my home - **** knows!!
Dolores 23-04-2006, 09:51 AM total footprint 3.3, total planets needed 1.8, total opinion of test? total sh*te!
fancy going in mileage from 0km with the next section being 25km - 100km ... what happened to 1-24km?
also guessed square footage etc.
Guessed a couple - 2.7 and 1.5 planets!
msgirl 23-04-2006, 06:35 PM I had to guess at some aswell...what the HELL is a metre?? I'm Appalachian, not European...I live way out in the country and we have no public transit, unless you count the 2 rickety cars running around town they are alledgedly calling 'cab's/taxi's'. The train doesn't even stop at the crossing here...what can I do??
floopy 24-04-2006, 01:10 PM IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 5.9 PLANETS. :w00t:
Patsy 24-04-2006, 01:32 PM Why Are You Shouting?!
and why won't this print in capitals?
TOTAL FOOTPRINT 3
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 1.7 PLANETS.
There are some very silly questions in there.
Northern angel 25-04-2006, 03:33 PM Relied upon guess work for answers to some silly questions, I thought still my footprint measure was 4.8 and if we all lived like me God forbid it. We'd need 2.7 planets.
A little bit of nonsense, to get one thinking about how green we are or can be.

Fee For All 25-04-2006, 09:26 PM 6.4 planets. I worked out the fuel, but just used my house footprint as opposed to number of rooms.
Bit disappointing really - I was hoping for double figures :w00t:
msgirl 26-04-2006, 09:16 AM Um, Patsy...I think you owe me an apology as you can very well see Mrs. Two Bottles has hogged the whole planet and then some!:ninja:
Coastie 26-04-2006, 03:14 PM Total footprint - 2.7
or 1.5 planets!
I had to guess a couple though as I wasn't sure on some of the measurements! :blink:
I fell cry mainly to the food stuffs...1.7...I do eat a fair bit of packaged stuff simply beacuse I don't eat fresh stuff quickly enough and it is then wasted...
bridge 29-04-2006, 05:06 PM Mine was 4.8 !!!!
If everybody lived like me we would need 2.7 planets, at least i recycle my glass bottles so there.
