I consider myself to be “green” and live life in as a minimalist; however, after taking this quiz I realized there is room for improvement. I am sure traveling to towing a boat hurt my score. According to this quiz, it would take 3.6 planet earths to support our current global population if every shared my lifestyle. I am curious if anyone will score lower and if so, I would like you to share some of you ideas. It only takes five minutes to take the quiz. http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/calculators/

Mother earth is a pretty tough cookie. I bet she can handle us just the way we are. Just pick up after yourself and leave it cleaner than when you found it,

For those who want to live in fear...live greener because you need someone to offset my rejection of the premise that my "footprint" is killing the planet. I live green enough but have realized green enough will never please the fruit loops.
***there is a point that an protester group pushes their agenda too far. Maybe greenies should specifically target the overweight who eat far more resources than they should. Target Al Gore, John Kerry and all the greenie supporter leaders that live opulent lifestyles while demanding we cut back. Good luck with that fight.
I consider myself greener than green. I am biodegradable.

Leftist propaganda geared toward some poor major city dwelling hood rat. This is what the Left wants us all to become BTW !
I scored 5.3. This is test is not for a Texas lifestyle.
The test says I require 23.3 acres to support my lifestyle ... does this mean the Progressives might come someday and take some of my land from me? Eminent domain?
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it !

4.2 Which is a little odd...Seriously, I have more landscaping producing more oxygen than the average home owner...I think it's a bit sophomoric, like most things on the internet and really not a good example of how green a person is...
It also asked about buying groceries locally, but didn't ask if you grew your own vegetables...

Target Al Gore, John Kerry and all the greenie supporter leaders that live opulent lifestyles while demanding we cut back. I think Al Gore is being accused of trying to heat up the planet on a couple of occasions with his massage therapist. Just how is that sexual assault lawsuit going?

I agree with Wes - it's extremely basic. It doesn't ask if you grow your own food. It doesn't ask if you produce your own electricity. It doesn't take into account hundreds of things. If you're "green" you know you are.
I'm green because I like saving a ton of money - you might call me cheap. That's about it. (4.8 for me)
