  1. My results are: "You are living as if we had 2.31 planets to support us but we only have one. Your carbon footprint is 8.28 tonnes per annum".
    I am a bit surprised because I thought I was a little more environmentally friendly. I try to protect, I try to recycle, I try to reuse, I try not to waste and not to overspend. However, I know that there are many things I don't do well. I should use the public transportation more often and riding a bike would be a good option too. Sometimes I'm a bit lazy sorting out the rubbish and I don't usually turn off the lights at home. I will try and make changes and improve my behaviour in order to become "a green person".
    If I don't protect my world, who will?

  2. My footprint is 2.30 planets and I am surprised, I wasn’t expecting these results.
    Day by day I try to do the right thing for the environment, but it's amazing how sometimes normal attitudes aren’t enough…

  3. "Your footprint is
    2.13 planets"
    I'll try to protect more the environment.
    I hope someday I can get this message:"Your footprint is
    1 planet"
