Ecological Footprint

Home at last! Been on the road since June 21. Survived the airports, the high gas prices, the crappy fast food, and the dinosaurs.

Since I left, my mail piled up, and my kitchen got removed. Long story, but I do have more wall space to decorate but no more stove, sink or frig.

Now the question is how do I live without a kitchen?

I've been thinking about my Ecological Footprint. I took the test and got a 22 which means that if everyone lived like I did, we would need 5 planet earths to sustain us all.

And I thought I was doing well.

I am a vegan. I walk when I can. I don't own a TV or microwave or dishwasher. I recycle (well, sometimes) and compost (kinda).

Well, I am seriously considering living without a car. Since I live in a city with some public transit, it would not be impossible. I'd save money on gas and burn off those fast food calories. Ah, but how will I ever outrun those pesky dinosaurs?

Ha, I did better. I need only 1.7 planets to sustain myself. :D

:( That's still a lot isn't it? Guess it's because I don't drive... Don't score well on the food part though. Damned chips and chicken!

Not having a kitchen must be liberating. So much less cleaning to do! XD
