I will need 2.5 earths to sustain myself in 0 years time

hbu? do this test, you profligates.

 

apparently I eat too much meat.

4,7 earths :O

I'm at 1.6, mostly because my food isn't grown locally, I think?

1 earth!

vegan, no car and a job reachable by public transport have a lot of weight i guess, and that's with zero renewable energy and a pretty big apartment.

1.7 earths.

 

sorry guys :(

belated edit: 1.2 earths.

 

missed some details. still though. that's probably an ok score for some westerner living a wasteful life....

 

interesting test though. although, i'd love more follow-up. which are the areas with the most potential to improve? i still dont know. did i miss something?

I have no car (practically) and also use public transport mostly, but I put down an average of 100kms/week on my bike because I do long-distance rides on weekends and it sent my CO2 output through the roof somehow. I think that plus meat were the main problems for me.

5.7 - I'm part of the problem

2.6

3.9 shheeeq

don't remember anything about distance travelled by bike. or do you mean motorcycle?

 

me: no car. and no beef/lamb were probably the most important.

motorcycle, yes

please consider doing long distance running/skating/biking in the weekends :p

 

 

5.7...how the hell? do you travel by plane on a weekly basis?

No, it's about 2-4 times a year, but when I do it's a damn long flight. Also my daily vehicle is terribly inefficient and my commute distance is not insignificant. Would be good (for health as well) to take public transport more but it doubles the commute time.

2.3

Apparently using mass transit only moves the needle .5 Earths. But I added details to my garbage and food consumption and I'm doing better than I thought. Assuming I did use mass transit I'm down to 3.5 Earths.

This is so depressing, not only is my life utterly pointless and i'm completely useless, im also a consumerist pig destroying the environment.

3.7 here, solid score, happy with that.

Most of my answers were extremely low. I walk to work, don't drive, never fly. I don't eat meat every day and rarely buy new shit.

 

Kinda feels like bullshit vegan propaganda tbh

lol

50 billion earths next week u fuckers

Just the 1 Earth for me, but the scale does not take into account vinyl & CDs, which no doubt jump the number up to 50 earths. Every 2LP destroys an acre of the Amazon, and one CD causes entire solar systems to implode. No meat, no transport of any kind other than feet, a life of isolation and sighing.

 

A lot of factors not really brought into this survey, such as music or other items one might buy (how much energy does WATMM's server consume, and how many holes in the ozone layer have we created looking at dank memes?). But it is something to think about, at the very least. Where I live, there are no recycling facilities, and I feel guilty about throwing recyclable trash away.

 

I wonder how high you make this? Let's see...

 

 

Welp.

3 Earths and half a Mars

And 2 Snickers before breakfast
