			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I like this <a href="http://www.earthday.net/footprint/index.html">Ecological Footprint survey</a> which (kind of) lets you figure out how much of the Earth&#8217;s resources you consume (waste).Actually, what it lets you calculate is if everyone on Earth was like you, how many Earths would be need to supply them all.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t do so well, pretty much meant I&#8217;m a pig in the world ecology (my low score is just that above the average american).</p>
<p>Now some of this would change if we had good public transportation in Detroit (the motor city) and if I knew how &#8220;local&#8221; my food was produced. I.E. If I lived out more in the country I&#8217;m thinking my eggs, bacon, and beef(?) would all be considered more local. I got nailed for air travel (&gt;10 hours a year), living alone and home square footage.  But I live in a condo, not taking up any more space than the person below me, no yard and I walk a lot of stairs to get up to the third floor. The funny thing is that it appears that I scored (lost) lots of points for living alone which (likely) means I&#8217;m not increasing the world&#8217;s population.</p>
