Eco Quiz / Questionnaire

The Earthday Network is a non-political organisation who's goal is to educate all parts of society on what they can do to help the planet. Their website, www.earthday.net, provides an environmental footprint calculator from which you can calculate the number of hectares required to sustain your lifestyle and hence how many planets would be required if everyone lived like you. In the UK the average environmental footprint is 5.8 hectares. If we divided the planet among the world`s population and each was given an equal part we would all get only 1.8 hectares.

In order to calculate your personal ecological footprint, you are asked questions regarding your transport, food, housing, waste etc. After answering 15 easy questions you`ll be able to compare your ecological footprint to that of other people and to the land available on this planet.

Have a go at the quiz and see for yourself how much your personal ecological footprint changes if you switch between the various options!!

CAUTION: THIS QUIZ MAY SURPRISE YOU, SHOCK YOU, OR MAKE YOU THINK. PLEASE REMAIN CALM...BUT NOT TOO CALM!!
