What is Your Ecologic Footprint?

I just finished writing this weeks lesson pland for the Environmental Science class I am student teaching in this semester and the topic is Environmental Sustainability. The textbook talks about ecelogic footprint (a measure of human demand on the Earth's ecosystems) as an introduction to the topic. Intruiged, I decided to calculate my own ecological footprint. The results I got were jaw dropping! According to my footprint.org if everyone lived the way I do we would need 5.9 earths to sustain humanity! I have decided to try and change some of my habbits that have contributed to such a large ecologic footprint and will retake this test in 6 months to see if I have made any progress. I challenge you to take the test and do the same!!!
