My Ecological Footprint

Wow! I like to think that my 'footprint' isn't as big as the results show. I actually walk or bike to most places in Toronto so I think the results are calculated incorrectly when they ask about the personal transportation.

If you are squinting at the screen capture, the results show that it would take 5.5 planet Earths to provide enough resources to cover my needs and 24.5 global acres to support my lifestyle.

To reduce my footprint, I would have to review what is creating the biggest impact in terms of transportation services. I don't have a car and I've used a cab on 3 different occassions. That's it so I'm unclear as to what is driving up my footprint!
