Ecological Footprint Quiz

http://www.earthday.net/footprint/index.asp

I was quite surprised at my husband's and my household results! We recycle all sorts of things, including paper, plastic, glass and metal. Our city's garbage and recycling system is quite efficient and convenient. Our best category is Mobility and our worst category is Shelter. I guess our energy inefficient neo-victorian house is just too big for two adults and our "tribe" of eight spayed and neutered cats. All of our light bulbs are the new energy efficient kind, however, there are many more things we can do to improve our living quarters and other aspects of our lives.
