Marissa's Ecological Footprint

According to my quiz I would consume about 4.1 earths. I was a little surprised when I saw this because I do try to conserve energy.  I do not drive and I either walk or take public transit to get around downtown. Also I don't eat meat, not because I'm a vegetarian but because I cannot afford meat. However, I am not sure exactly how much energy I waste due to the fact that hydro and everything is all included into my rent. 
What I do need to do to lessen my ecological footprint is recycle. The building I am currently living in does not have recycling and I find that i forget to recycle. Recycling only goes so far, but I believe this is one of the things I do not do very often and it is quite a simple task.
