I played the game. I came in at 4. I think I will have to play again and read the rules as I was confused in that I wasn’t sure how to answer as I was answering for myself, husband and 2 children. Food seamed to be the one that put us over…..all the coffee and beer I suppose! We also live in a 2700 sq foor house, which is on the small side for our neighborhood.This is a great tool though and would be great to share with others, maybe in the neighborhood or schools. We live in the State of Minnesota and our school district is number 2 in the state. I am going to check with the school district to see how they might intergrate a game like this as a learning tool. THANKS for sharing!!!

Wow, I got 2.8. I guess it is because I don’t get out much, have insulated the house, and don’t buy much these days!! Babes keep me occupied. The big event with the wee ones is some organic pear followed by a walk around the village!

I too came in at over 3 earths. I think if you are reading this blog you probably are doing as much if not more than the average person is to live as sustainably as possible. The problem is that our food supply is not local in many cases. I live in New Jersey and we have community supported agriculture groups but only in the summer….so I’m forced to buy from my local organic grocery store in the winter and we all know our food is coming from lands far away during the colder months. I guess we can always do better.

i got 3.1 too, also due to my food. this surprised me! i shop at the local co-op and try to buy as much of my food organic and local as possible, but i guess i could be doing a lot better!

Crap!! I got 3.1 Earths…seems like my food (?) somehow really made the number go up…I’m a vegetarian for god’s sake! I think it’s because I buy so much prepared food (I chose 25-50% of the food I eat is prepared, and that might be low). I just don’t love cooking and don’t have the time, but I guess this is a bigger resource-sucker than I realized. Hmmmm…..
