    2.32 planets, and thats probably because i'm skint and dont travel anywhere!
    If they sold organic products cheaper than i would buy them and if they made those lightbulbs so you could actually see what you were doing i would have them in every room but they arent worth not being able to see the stairs for or damaging your eyesight trying to work by them.:|
    not sure if they were saying having pets was good or bad either (?)

    our street has 24 hour street lighting, i think they need to look more at what bigger companies and councils are doing and not so much at us individuals yet, yet we seem to get the guilt trip about it. For instance i would recycle plastic if the council collected it but they dont. and whats a green electric tarrif? i've never heard of i or been offered it.

    1.84 planets I think you would need to live in the jungle off the fruits of the land to achieve a carbon footprint of the right size, not very practicle.

    [​IMG] 2.28........I am happy with that at this moment in time.
    My son and D in L are fanatical recyclers and insist we do the same..........they say quite rightly that we are doing it for their children and their childrens children.

    i just went though it again, this time answering in a way that i thought would be the most eco friendly,no car,living in a flat,vegan,recycling everything etc. I still needed 1.63 planets and had a carbon footprint of 5.84! we're all doomed, the end is nigh :D !!!!

    mgn- here is a bit about green electricity, it also tells you how to go about getting a green electricity supplier and compares prices for you. moneysupermarket.com has a similar comparison site too. as always, you end up paying a bit more for green energy though!

    http://www.uswitch.com/Energy/Green-Energy.html?ref=affiliatewindow&i=1

    if anyone is going to switch suppliers, try going from this page, you get some cash back too!

    Two point five, me.
    Just wonder how many we would need if we all lived the lives of those pop stars that are making a big thing, all around the world, of how green they are and how they would like to save the planet.
    Just a thought, GREEN used to mean, as far as I know, INEXPERIENCED AND GULLABLE.

    NOTHING CHANGES.
