1.25. I don’t drive or travel much. It appears to be a pretty big contribution to my low impact score.
3.5, awesome. I live in Florida, so we have no need for oil to heat us up. The electric bill is kind of high, but I don’t drive long distances. I’ll plant a few trees, problem solved.
6.7…I RAWK!
4.2. Ootz for solar power!
9.05 - Driving is my big culprit
um. . .I don’t know enough to do any of that. . .
don’t drive, have no clue how much energy electric gas etc bill my dad pays, etc. . .
6.95
gina
8.2
We carpool most of the time(i estimated high for my part), have electric only house, but I have to fly places for work so thats what gets me.
3.5, but i think it’s only because i drive a hybrid car.
6.2. neat.
2.75! But my numbers may be off by a bit…
6.45
13… :-
I need to go turn my AC down. It is rather warm in here…
13.85 DANG!
1.7
That can’t be right.
8.15
3.9 but I should qualify that… I couldn’t enter our coal for our coal stove as they didn’t list that particular option. (I did, however, list the heating oil that heats our hot water)
I got 7.1, BUT I’m still living in my old house that is too big for just me and my kids… wasted space & energy…
My total was 6.2
9.9 here
This has got to be the most uninspiring entry I’ve ever read.
10.95
10.05
There are other websites that have different ways to calculate it, I got about the same every time. Thank God for undeveloped countries.
mine is 1.05 because i dont pay any of those bils. =)
5.21
7.75
4.4 or 5.45, depending on whether or not I subtracted my brothers. had to guess on most of it, though…
Mine said 5.6 and I was erring on the low side.
This has to be a gimmick. I bet that the average includes infants who do not produce any and discounts for the “carbon credits” that Al Gore and his cronies are so proud of buying. If this were real why would it matter what state you live in? For interest I put in the 12000 mile per year driving average in a 2000 Ford Explorer with everything else as zeroes and it was 6.45. I wonder how driving a vehicle that is pretty typical the average number of miles alone results in an impact that close to the average.
6.45 but i drive maybe once a week
2.25, looks like i’m in third place so far…
3.95
Al Gores would come in at 1,000,000,000,000.00
You shall know them by their fruit
And this idiot thing did not ask what engine I had in my jeep. I get 25 MPG, some only get 15
The Stat question has to do this what type of electricity your state buys. Washington’s is mostly hydroelectric. While Utah is mostly coal.
“This Ecological Footprint Quiz estimates how much productive land and water you need to support what you use and what you discard. After answering 15 easy questions you’ll be able to compare your Ecological Footprint to what other people use and to what is available on this planet.”
Sorry. I meant 1149.55.
12.95
5.3
I have a solar powered scooter.
2.15
must be because I either ride my bike or use public transportation, and instead of paying for heating I just layer up.
6.25 bitches.
9.2
9.2, yikes! But it’s higher this year because of all the extra flights I’ve taken.
15.25 for our family of 5, with lots of road trips!
I am above average. Yay me!
2.8
8.15 if you don’t count nuclear energy as a clean, renewable energy source. 5.85 if you do.
Mine was 4.45… not too shabby if I may say so, myself!
11.75
But who cares…?
I got right on Average, but apparently if I lived in California it’d be three times that.
?!?
RYC: How do you know his age? He discusses lock rooms, and such…..I presume he is younger.
Now, I am wondering if Dan is uncut! Hahahahaaha!
Sorry. I have a hard time controlling myself and behaving sometimes.
er ^^^ (locker)
What a crock of methane producing crap.
“the sky is falling, the sky is falling, the sky is falling…”
4.1!
5.45 and still falling . . . . .
1.4
Haha, it was hard for me to do it considering I just got my car back in January and I haven’t driven much.
I live with my parents so I don’t pay for electric and/or gas.
And I’ve never been on a plane in my entire life.
1.4
I can’t answer those questions. Furthermore, they didn’t have my car listed. BOO HISS
4.35…though i am only one person
4.05 without tyring…
5.7, but I don’t know if that’s good or bad.
9.6 I should add that I live in the middle of nowhere and it’s 7 miles to even a gas station. No where to walk to but a creek.
12.0
I fly too much…
Hmm 6.5 for a mom with 2 small kids.. I think that’s not so bad..
4.5 and we have a family of 5
6.55 but i wasn’t sure about the bills.. my parents pay them.
4.1
WOW!!!
2.25! Woohoo for walking and using Green Mountain!
Not bad for a household of 6 might I add……
4.2
8.3, however, if we had 2 kids it would be 6.1. Funny how that works. If someone can give me a way to get my electric bill down, I can guarantee you I would be a happy happy camper!
i have no idea what our heating/gas bills are. i think that is bad. like i seriously haven’t the slightest idea.
by the way, dan, that is terrible. what do you DO?!?
6.15
6.8 average. But then I dont really take many vacations – so I dont fly.
5.85
Below average. Not too shabby I suppose.
6.2
5.9, I made al gore happy.
Hahaha, 0.95. But that’s probably because I’m living in campus housing and don’t own a car, plus I rarely fly.
12.15 but I had to make educated guesses on half of it.
5.8 and we use a lot of eco-friendly cleaning products, light bulbs, recycle, etc.
you can also plant trees to off-set your foot print on this earth.
6.9
what is it you do again for a living?
10.5. Hmmm.
6.2;
7.15
.9 So I guess not driving a car puts me under the average a litle bit.
Mine is 0.6. I am sure it is low because I don’t drive or fly.
3.4
I don’t have to pay for utilities. I own no car. I fly a little.
Let’s talk when I am the fuck out of Central Islip.
13.7
7.1. I don’t know about the renewable energy use around here, so I left it at zero. I doubt they have any here in Missouri.
4.15 shaweet.
1.05, but that’s cuz I don’t drive much cuz my car is almost dead. And our electric and gas and stuff is factored into our rent, so I dunno how much that would actually be.
7.2
And Dan, I think it’s that the average person makes, not uses, carbon dioxide. No?
co2 is not the cause of global warming, there is no relation between atmospheric levels of co2 and climate… the only possible difference would be improved plant growth, resulting ultimately in more oxygen production, which could potentially lead to increased rainfall… since most countries are in drought as a result of the heat-up, this is not the case…
increased levels of co2 are either an effect of the real cause of global warming or a wild card coincidence caused by man’s overuse of burnable fuel…
sunspot activity… theres your global warmer…
6.75 – not that it really matters, since it has no severe negative effects on the environment beyond air pollution…
13
6.1 I feel good about that!
2.35!
0.35, but that’s not really accurate… heat is included in my rent, and I’m a passenger in other people’s cars (or on the bus) even though I don’t drive my own, so who knows how much energy I really use.
4.3
Not bad
7.95.
Then again, I wasn’t sure how much our assorted bills are, or the percentage it asked for. *shrug*
5.0, it’s a bad site: “how many miles do you drive in a year”…apparently the person failed Marketing 101.
15.2 And I’ve heard that pregnant women put out more co2 than most people (making them mosquito magnets), but the survey didn’t take that into account.
12.2- I didnt think that that was too bad for 4 people.
2.85
Now, where’s the link showing how much oxygen plants/algae give off?
4.7
6.2~!!!!!!
fuck off
My impact is a solid 20. Of course I have 7 members in my household. Myself, my wife, and our 5 kiddos. Fortunately I have plenty of trees around my house!
39…. seriously
7.6
just come to say hi
4.5 I want a much lower score.

i doubt you’re a scientist, so i don’t know why you’re making arrogant claims like that. i also doubt that you would be able to find one single scientist who agreed with your above comment. pick up a scientific peer-reviewed journal and stop living in denial.
Mine was .6, probably because I don’t drive… ANYWHERE.
2.75 I walk or ride a bike every where. I do not own a car and never ride in a car or a bus. I have never flown in a plane
4.9 biznitches Not that I’d give a shiz if I had anything higher
Comments (126)
15.20 is that bad?
i use 9.7. thats probably a lot for a teenager.
