I used footprintcalculator.org to calculate my ecological footprint. The results were 7.1 global hectares for ecological footprint and 12.1 tonnes/yr for my carbon footprint. It said if everyone lived like me it would need 4.5 earths which is pretty shocking. Factors that may have an effect on this is driving and flying a lot, consumption of processed foods, and home/energy use. I  driving to work by myself on daily basis versus carpooling. Living in the Tampa Bay area, I don’t know of many people that carpool so its seems pretty normal but I can see where that may leave more of a footprint. I never use public transportation or ride a bike to any destination unless it was just a family outing on a trail somewhere. We try to purchase more energy efficient appliances for our home but do not use other types of energy other than electricity power. It would be more helpful and would reduce our footprint if we converted to solar power for our home especially living in Florida with lots of sun. Another consideration would be when purchasing cars to make sure its environmental friendly and energy efficient. I think my footprint is average compared to the those living in the city within the U.S. The cities particularly are more congested and consumption and waste may tend to be higher than other parts of the country.
