I just took the ecological footprint quiz, and it says that if everyone lived like I do, we'd need 2.1 planets.

Hm. On one hand, this is comforting in comparison to the 2700 planets needed for everyone to live like Tom Cruise. On the other, I'm probably one of the most tree-hugging people I know, so I have to wonder: How many planets do we need for everyone to continue to live as they're accustomed?

As much as I love to hope that zillions of people will suddenly realize the personal financial benefit of re-using things (in addition to the less appealing ecological benefit), I'm not holding my breath. We'd better get to work on making the moon farmable.

In case one self-congratulatory screenshot wasn't enough for you, I'd also like everyone to know that I use less energy than most of Manhattan's concerned Personal Kyoto-using citizens. Which is kind of terrifying considering how pricey my ConEd bill has been this summer.
