Measure your carbon footprint with a fun new calculator!!

Earth Day Network - http://www.earthday.net/ - has just released its newest tool to combat climate change: The new, updated, and much more fun Ecological Footprint Calculator: http://www.earthday.net/footprint/index.html

In this new tool created by Global Footprint Network, you can create a three-dimensional avatar of your choosing, and tour your virtual neighborhood. Then you will be asked a series of questions about your food consumption, energy use, favorite mode of transportation, type of residence, recycling commitment, and spending habits. You can even choose to take a long version or a short version of the quiz! The Footprint Calculator will tell you how many "planets" would be necessary to sustain human life - if everyone lived just like you, and how many acres of land and tons of carbon necessary to sustain your lifestyle. You can even revisit your quiz to see where she "went wrong", and find out how to reduce your carbon footprint.
