This is a quick little quiz that tells you basically how many earths it would take to support a whole population of you and all the impacts you make on the earth. I'm no tree hugger but its kind of interesting.

I got 5.1 earths


post what you get and let's see how green NS is

4.5 which is a little surprising because I live in Montana which means you drive ALOT because everything is so spread out. We also have wood siding on our house and their is no local plastic recycling. I was surprised there was nothing about composting waste/garbage... something we do a lot of. Can anyone explain to me what exactly an "earth" is?

5.7 but i partially blame my dad, whom i live with. I disagree with some of the things he does, because it saves money.
