Big Foot

I drive an SUV. I recycle what I can but don't always check to see if what I'm purchasing comes in a recyclable container. I don't always buy organic, and I have to admit it, I like my dairy products (and the meat from said dairy provider).

That's why I was hesitant to look at the Ecological Footprint Calculator, created by the originators of the concept, the Earth Day Network and the Global Footprint Network. And yes, the results from that calculation are not good: We'd need 4.4 Planet Earths to provide enough resources if everyone on this planet lived the way I do.

The graphic shows the results of my footprint calculator:



The good news is that there are relatively easy and painless ways I can have less impact on the planet: Telecommute some, cut down my red-meat intake just a bit, buy more organic and local produce. I'm worried about the polar bears and am constantly chasing the kids down to turn off lights and not run water. So I'm improving.

And this calculator is fun to play with. The graphics are cute (you can customize your look), and it's easy to use.

So check it out and find out how you can take big steps to shrink your footprint!
