My score after completing the ecological footprint was 4.3 planets. Si, it would take 4.3 worlds to sustain my type of living. I must say my score did surprise me. I honestly thought I was doing my part to help conserve our planet. My family and I scored high on food consumption(10), home (2), electricity (1), recycling (1), transportation (4) and goods and services (1). After taking this quiz with my husband by my side we were concerned with our food consumption; we have noticed that we do eat a lot of red meat. So, we came to an agreement that we would eat red meat once or twice, at the most, a week instead of every other day. Another agreement was once the toilet paper was done, that we would put the paper holder into the recycling bin. We discovered this after watching a special on a woman who only throws out her trash once a year. What she does is she sorts out the trash and most of it is all recyclable. This inspired us, we went out and bought washable napkins, instead of paper towel, and all kinds of stuff that can be reused instead of throwing things away.
