    Just completed the carbon footprint assessment.  Eeeeeeek.  If everyone lived like me, we would need 4.5 earths.

      I got 3 earths, I definitely thought I'd get fewer but consumerism got me

    The water foot print was really interesting.  Especially the use of 'virtual water'.  Quite shocking to how many gallons per day I use.
