What are the consequences of your lifestyle?

This is a pretty cool site to check out. It asks different questions about your lifestyle and figures out if everyone in the world lived like you do how many earths it would take to support that lifestyle. I'll tell you that I live pretty modestly, the only meat I eat is seafood which is pretty rare for me. I recycle everything I can and I was still pretty sadened by my score. But, it's important to know these things in order to do a better job at protecting the place we call home.

What really bums me out is knowing that the only reason we haven't totally trashed this planet yet is because there are so many poor people who can't afford to do the damage that the people with the capability to read this blog do.
