Ecological Footprint Basics

My son Chuck has become an advocate for reusable bags. Miracles do happen. Use egg cartons in the botom of the kitchen waste can to absorb liquid from fruit and vegetable peelings and also grease. It is not only better for the compost but it is a great difference especially if you have a cookout or a party.

Up Date would you believe my son Chuck is now an advocate of reusable bags. Miracles do happen. I use the paper mache egg cartons in the bottom of the kitchen trash can. It is better to add paper to vegetable peelings etc before composting.

It sounds like you have all completed a survey at no cost,think of the questions you were asked finacial travel,most people ended up with more or less the same score I stopped half way through when asked how much I pay on Vet bills,try the quiz again and see if you get the same footprint?

The same thing happened to me, Nev

I completed the quiz, and tried to sign up, but could find no way to complete that process, since a post ode was required, and the system would not accept my true postcode. I am disappointed that I will miss out on the promised added information, and the opportunity to share with other members who have managed to sign up.

I have hear the story of the twin born a week later, a day later, hours later. I like you better as a friend mon ami than as a brother. :-) >lol< humm humm humm ta ta ta , nope, been thinking about it you are my twin in spirit.

who knows, it never happened in history that a twin was born a few years later ? LOL

hahaha, I would be honored to have a brainy brother like you mon ami. But you are too young to be my twin. ahh, but a twin in spirit I will accept. >LOL

Tricia, are we twins ? I have never searched for my biological parents LOL

Well, my Canadian friend, again we are on the same page. I also have a 3.43 planet answer to my footprint. Rob, thank you for posting the link. @ Scabiosa this is a very informative article and it does make you think. I did not get the questions on the cost of jewelry but the pet question I did get. ::working on giving up meat more often:: Organic Veggies are the best. Local markets are available here so I will check those out. Try harder to reduce the footprint I leave behind. :-) Thanks to al

I stopped the quiz half way through it was too much like a house hold survey,what has what I spend on jewlery in a year got to do with my carbon footprint or what my vet bills are there onlt of use to someone who wants to sell me pet health Insurance Thats my oppinion and the scientists call it your Carbon Foot print

Here's my result: "You're living as if we had 3.43 planets to support us but we only have one."

@Ruediger the characters displayed as "?"s are fixed.
Thanks to all for the comments!

I had fun doing the quiz.

The many "?" are not a problem when it comes to tweet the article. But the article look - sorry - some kind of "unprofessional".

I just tweeted it without any problems.

Very nice article, indeed. I'd like to tweet it on my Twitter account but there are too many "?" in the article. If you would correct this ...

It's one thing to think about solutions and completely another thing to act on them. This is a great way to keep the ideas in front of people and may help convince them to act accordingly. Every effort will make a difference. When the masses act responsibly we will make a noticeable difference. It will make people feel better when they take personal control by substituting earth friendly options for the current situation. Thanks for your post.
