Has anyone taken a test to see what their personal eco footprint is? I have and its frightening, I think try very hard to be Eco friendly, but mine is still not good It said that if I dont cut down more we would need one and a half planet earths to keep going,not good is it!

Hi Joy,Its to see how much of the earths resourses you use. electricity,gas. plus also your car, how much carbon monoxide you personally emit. hope this helpd

Sorry,I posted on the wrong thread!Doohhh!!

Roxanne where can this test be taken?

Hi Roxanne - is there a website that will tell us about our footprint? Did one ages ago but can't remember the details! I would love to have solar panels installed - think we could do it as we have a fairly large house, don't know how much it would cost though!

Hi Julie and all, If you google Carbon Footprint,you will see various tests you can take. some are quick tests others are more involved, its very interesting to do. let me know if you take it and what results you get) Roxanne

Hi Sheila, We were thinking about solar panels too, there very popular here. one price we were given was 6,000 pounds very expensive but in the long run I surpose economical. were still thinking about it. Roxanne

Hi All heres a link for you,let me know how you do) http://ww*.bp*com/extendedsectiongenericarticle*do replace stars with dots as always.

I did very well most likely because we don't have a car or fly. Was less than the national average. Germaine x

Roxanne i think if we all tried to do our own bit of saving the planet ie like roll on deodarants long life light bulbs less packaging try to recycle of much of our own personal rubbish we may be able to keep our planet a bit longer. June.

Well I'm lower than the average on this one probably because I don't drive or fly.
