The Ecological Footprint Quiz.
My result:
" IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 5.4 PLANETS. "
Let's see. 1 planet for beer production, 1 planet for coffee growing, 1 planet for tobacco. That's three planets right there. Another planet for the production of bacon. I'm not sure what this hypothetical Karl World is going to need the other 1.4 planets for. But I think the test seems to be missing a key point. Having no children and with none planned, in about 30 years Karl World will need ZERO planets. Beat that, ya hippies.
I took the test again as a ten year-old vegan Indian boy living in a 20sqm 'green design residence' with no electricity and a family of more than 7.
WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 1.8 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.
So, my hypothetical Indian boy would only need 1/6 of a planet! Unless he grows up and fathers ten kids...
* "Dumnidity" is an original word invented by me, and has nothing to do with anybody else.

I took the same test. Only needed 2.4 planets. I guess when the Greens rule the Earth, I mean, Gaiea, I shall be slightly higher in rank than you.
I bet we could get better scores if rich countries stopped producing life saving drugs and all foreign aid.
