If you wonder what your impact on the planet is, then you might want to take the Ecological Footprint Quiz.

The �ecological footprint� is a tool for measuring our consumption of natural resources and waste output within the context of nature�s renewable and regenerative capacity. Every living creature has an ecological footprint, which is fine as long as it is within the annual regenerative capabilities of nature: it is then said to be sustainable. Your personal ecological footprint will take into the account the amount of pressure you put on the planet by living the way you do: eating certain food, driving your car, using mains electricity etc. The Quiz will give you an idea of what your footprint is and how to reduce it.
