In my Environmental Science class, I got to go to a cool website where I took a quiz that showed me my ecological footprint (see below). You can try it out and find your ecological footprint at footprintnetwork.org
Anyway, it takes 15.7 acres to support my lifestyle and it would take 3.5 Earths to sustain everyone if everyone lived like I did. 10% of the energy goes into food, 15% into shelter, 7% to mobility, 12% to goods, and 56% goes into services. So basically, it doesn't take much to feed or clothe me, but it takes a lot to keep me warm and sheltered and occupied.
