Our Ecological Footprint

Today my son and I went to http://myfootprint.org/en/ to calculate our carbon footprint and even though I thought we were doing OK we still would need 4.5 earths to continue our lifestyle if everyone on Earth lived like us...this was shocking to me!!!

At least they do not leave one without hope as you can print off a list of things to reduce your footprint here: http://www.myfootprint.org/en/take_action/reduce_your_footprint//

I am not such a tree hugger that I am going to beat myself up about this...we are making slow progress towards wasting less, living green and growing our own food, but there is ALWAYS room for improvement!
