Several bloggers have linked to the Earth Day Footprint Quiz, an eco-hysterical site that tried to make me feel guilty for having a house and eating meat "frequently" (i.e., as often as every other day). Here is the result of combining my personal info with their ecological illiteracy: A total footprint" of 33 acres. The quiz tells me that " WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 4.5 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE ACRES PER PERSON." I wonder which of those biologically productive acres grew the metal to construct my car.
Footprint Quiz conclusion: IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 7.5 PLANETS. My conclusion: IF EVERYONE KNEW AS LITTLE ABOUT ECONOMICS AS YOU, I WOULD NEED 1.0 GRAVES TO HOLD MY STARVING, FREEZING CARCASS.
