Right now I'm taking an environmental science class in school called "Dependence of Man on the Environment," and this week the instructor had us take the Ecological Footprint quiz online. According to my results, if everyone lived the same lifestyle I do, we would need 4.5 Earths!
This is truly, extremely disturbing.
What's even more disturbing is that my score were significantly lower than the country average! So, PLEASE go to this website:

(You do NOT have to provide a donation or your e-mail address - that is OPTIONAL.)
...and calculate your Ecological Footprint. It's very short, it won't take up a lot of your time, and it is worth it and important. At the end, there's a link to advice on how to lower your score.
