From the beginning

My attempt to re-design my lifestyle for sustainable living began two weeks ago with a visit to the EPA website - http://www.epa.vic.gov.au/ecologicalfootprint/globalfootprint/index.asp

Here I measured my personal ecological footprint and the results were quite scary. Take a look...

If everyone lived like me, we would need 2.6 Planet Earths to provide enough resource!

Food makes up 46% of my ecological footprint (I eat a lot of meat).

And to support my lifestyle, it takes 4.7 global hectares of the Earth's productive area.

2.6 Planet Earths!!! That's crazy!

So now I know where I am going wrong and with advice from the EPA website and some common sense, I am on my way to a greener, more sustainable life! (I hope)
