Joe Kuban : Go home, grab a cerveza and find your ecological footprint

So, last night in Environment Science we really hit on the topic that Dr. Kuban is most passionate about - this planet and basically in his words - our "rape" of it. His voice rose on more than one occasion as he tried to instill in us that while our parents had screwed up the planet, there was still a chance we could make a change.

When the lecture was over he said - "Go home, grab a cerveza and find your ecological footprint." There is a website out there where you can find your ecological footprint, basically it tells you based on your current consumption of resources where you stand.

The website is : http://www.myfootprint.org/ Go check it out and find yours. Here are my results :


Looks like I need to make some changes.

Um my footprint was 19, but in order to change I would have to quit eating meat which would never happen at my house and drive a smaller car. Again, something that would never happen at my house.

My was 22 and I don't think I am going to change a thing.

Total footprint was 13. If everyone lived like me, we would need 2.8 planets. Looks like I'm on the next space shuttle to colonize Mars.
