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

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.

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

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!

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!
