I'm not having any luck gettiing on the site. It keeps asking me to click on my country--but it does nothing when I click.

When you move your cursor over the country, a list of countries should appear. Choose your country, and then a list of languages....choose English (I assume), and then the quiz will start.

I started ok, but how I'm supposed to compare the weather of UK with Kiev or Odessa, I have not the slightest idea!!

I did one of these last year for class. It makes one stop and think doesn't it?
I'll stop by and take it again and see how I compare now.

Funny thing is, I consider myself a big waste of resourses. But apparently I'm quite a bit better than the national average.

You're doing better than I. I blame the air travel of the past year. A wee bit unusual and definitely not environmentally friendly.

Does this mean I get my own planet??

I did this twice... the first time I had 26... the second 16

the reason for the second was because we were trying an experiement... what would happen if we were vegan and used public transport more....

I'm in the 2.7 planet range. I probably would have done better a few years back when my building actually had solar panels put there by the previous owner because Pres. Jimmy Carter was giving tax breaks for that. But they stopped working and we took 'em down

 

[Liar]

Since I have no car, walk or ride my bike much more than I use public transportation, very rarely fly and buy as much unprocessed food as possible (at least half of it is), I can only track my high footprint rating to two things: I eat animals now and then, and I live in a one person apartment. Huh.

It goes down to 24 if my apartment were one category smaller. And goes down to 14 if I didn't have to fly so much for work.

I walk almost everywhere, and I eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables. The fact that Greece's population is only 20 million (roughly) doesn't hurt, either.
