Here is quiz to work out the size of your ecological footprint in comparison to everyone else, and find out how many earths we would require if everyone wanted to sustain our lifestyle.
Ecological Footprint Quiz Post what your score was. I am extremely wasteful; I got a 5.3.

I got 16. It said if everyone lived like me, we'd need 3.6 planets.

I did a test, though: I switched my location from Toronto to San Francisco and I lost 1 entire planet of footprint. It seems there's a limit to how small a Canadian's footprint can be if he wants to have heat through the winter. |

I assume that each location has a value for heating degree-days and cooling degree-days assigned to it, which it uses in its heating and cooling energy usage calculations. Around here, we have 30.2 cooling degree-days and 3600 heating degree-days (all Celsius). For comparison, Edmonton (much further north and in a different part of the country) has 0.9 cooling and 5200 heating degree-days, which is starting to approach double the heating energy usage of Toronto, which itself is probably about double the heating energy usage of cities in the mid-level United States. |

My total footprint is 4.2 ; if everyone lived like me, we would need 2.3 planets.
However, my country wasn't showing up on the map so I chose the closest one which was Venezuela.

I wrote my first post up wrong, I got 5.3 planets.
I blame all of the travelling I do each week.
