Apparently, if everyone lived like me we would need 4.2 planets to accommodate our habits. And that is coming from someone who gets 100% of their electricity from renewable sources, lives in a small (compared to the rest of the housing stock in America) apartment in a densely populated areas, and actually tries, on a occasion, to be green. Actually, it is the air travel that kills me: it doubled my number of planets needed from 2.1 to 4.2. So personally, I blame Columbus for all the ills in the world. And really, is it realistic to believe that everyone in the world would want to travel to Columbus as much as I have to? I think not.
What are your consumer consequences?

My current consumer lifestyle would take 3.5 earths... nyeah nyeah... I'm ruining everything more slowly than youuu arrre...
eeeek, I'm at 3.2 earths!! I got killed on food, much of which, alas, is not made at home. Apparently I don't fix enough things when they're broken either. Better work on that.
My score went way up just for living in Connecticut, which is wayyy above the average for energy consumption. Stupid nowhere little state.
(Oh, did that sound bitter? Oops.)
Using your outloud voice again...;)
My penchant for car trips has me on the naughty list. I went from just under 2 earths to almost 5 because of my driving habits. Oops...
I'm at 3.8. I think Anthony cheated because he eats more meat and doesn't always let me buy free range eggs and rages against the recycled toilet paper (a.k.a. fine grit sandpaper).
I think the damn free-range chickens get better toilet paper than I do. Grrr.
But if we gave the chickens toilet paper than than meat companies would have nothing to feed the cows.
Sorry, you probably didn't want to think about cows are fed.
Tell me... just tell me that beef cattle are fed toilet paper. Come on now!
Ok, you asked. No, cows are not fed toilet paper. But cows ARE fed the following:
chicken manure (scraped off the floors of large, industrial chicken coops)
concrete powder
cardboard dust
What they are not fed: grass.
What? That interminable Sesame Street hippie-dippy cow segment never mentioned THAT! Then again, those were milk cows, not beef cattle... ;)
"The defect in this one is bleach."
"That's right."
"YESSSSSS!"
