Ecological Footprint


I was recently assigned a paper to discuss lifestyle choices that may affect my personal ecological footprint (i.e. resources needed to support my lifestyle). I thought some of you may be interested in seeing how your choices affect the footprint you leave on the earth.  Attached is a link to a short quiz that may give you a little insight into the global impacts of your choices.  It is a crude estimation but quite interesting.  


Trying doing it once with your real answers and maybe do it again changing just one(transportation or diet are good ones to manipulate)and see how the size of your changes.
