How many earths it would it take to support 6.6 billion people living the way you do? Find out HERE.
American Public Media has produced this great little web game that tells you if you’re over consuming, and what you can do about it. I scored 2.5 earths (Ouch, gotta work on that). 
Try it out and post your score in the comments section below. Next month I’ll announce the lowest scoring reader. Oh and a little secret… The second time you play the game you can adjust government policies too and find out how they effect your consumption.
Special thanks to Act Local reader “L.T.” for suggesting this story.

I can’t believe I scored 2.5 earths. Thats pretty bad. I’m gonna have to work on this. I think better electricity consumption, and wiser food choices will go along way. Airplane travel really hurts too.
i’m with you on that one. i really thought that living in turkey, not owning a car, using public transport, buying mostly locally…. that i would do better. it’s that dang airplane travel that did me in. i don’t think i realized what energy hogs they are!
