Find out if you're living a sustainable life

October 2nd, 2007

Have you played the Consumer Consequences interactive game on Minnesota Public Radio’s website?

You can find out what the world would be like if everyone lived like you…

“Nice Planet…Want to Share?

The Earth couldn’t support its 6.6 billion residents if everyone lived like a typical American. Consumer Consequences will tell you how many planets it would take to support your lifestyle on a planetary scale and provide some ideas for making your ‘footprint’ a little smaller.” 

What does my footprint look like? If everyone on the planet lived like I live, then we’d need THREE planets. Whoa. I spoke to a friend yesterday who said she’d need 6 planets, so I guess I’m doing alright.

However, it seems that I need to cut down on my coffee addiction (wah wah) and start using my car less.
