Happy Planet Index

Introduced by Yanz! I seriously agree with her "..anyone who's reading this blog should do their ecological footprint. Everyone must make an effort to save the Earth. Start by using less air-con ba...." =D

===========================================

Your personal Happy Planet Index (HPI) is 41.5, which is similar to that of countries such as Egypt, Congo or Denmark. Sorry to say that this is below the world average of 46, and about the same as the UK average. Your score is about the same as that of your country, 40.8.

Below is a breakdown of the various components that make up your HPI score.
You: 41.5
Average: 43.4

Life Expectancy
Hurray! Your life expectancy is well above average for your gender and country. Probably, you're doing all the major things right - eating well, not smoking, getting regular exercise, and you're lucky enough to have the right genes. Are there any more ways you could make a difference? Some factors that improve your life expectancy are more surprising than others. For example, giving up your car, avoiding living alone, moving out of the city and shrugging off stress.
You: 89.5
Average: 80.8

Ecological Footprint
Your ecological footprint is 6.06 global hectares, or 3.37 planets, about average for the country you live in.

Oh dear! You are using between three and five times your share of the planet's resources, even assuming no resources are set aside for other species. That's well above the world average, and even above the average for most industrialised countries. Perhaps it's time to start taking action. Here are some of the most effective steps that everyone can make to reduce their footprint:
1.It's obvious, but we have to say it. Conserve energy. Turn off the lights when you leave a room, buy energy-efficient bulbs and appliances, turn off your TV completely, rather than leave it on standby.
2.You don't have to become vegetarian, but cutting down on meat, particularly beef, and particularly from animals fed by imported soya feed, is an effective step to reducing your footprint.
You: 6.06
