Wow, yes, interesting! I would take up 2.8 planets...

1.9 planets eh? Not that many things I can change much, but interesting to contemplate.

Apparently I would need 4 planets!I guess I flunked the test. Must do better.

2.6 "earths" for me.

I'd characterize my eco-profile as better-than-average for the US, but translating it into multiple planets shows that it's still not nearly good enough!

If my job were on a bus route, and if the bus service was any good, I would be glad to drive much less than I do. I don't think there anywhere in the US, outside of New York City, where public transporation is a realistic option for the average working person.

9.2 planets! Hot damn, I'm the Galactic Overlord! (Mind you, there really isn't much choice but to drive when you live out here....)

1.4. I should feel pretty good about that but I'm not sure about some of my answers. I know next to nothing about the fuel consumption of our car and kilometres just confuse me completely.

I asked the Mayor about building a subway but he just looked at me.

But they are talking about BRINGING AMTRAK BACK TO POCATELLO!! Yes! Perhaps as early as next year!
