Food Footprint 0.6 hectares or 1.5 acres
Transportation Footprint 5.4 hectares or 13.4 acres
Housing Footprint 1.3 hectares or 3.2 acres
Other Footprints 2.7 hectares or 6.7 acres
Total Footprint per person 10 hectares or 24.8 acres

Your Eco-Footprint measures 98.5 % of an average American Footprint.
5% set aside
That comes to 5 earths.
Hmm. Before everyone jumps up and down over my transportation thingy, I fly on average 100 to 150 hours a year because I find it relaxing and it is my hobby. Now I put down 100 hours a year in a commercial jetliner, but there is a difference between a jetliner and my single engine Cessna that I fly.
Second, I used the housing footprint of my family. I don't expect to have a 4,000 sq. ft. house for a few years.
I do want a 4,000 or 5,000 sq. feet house though. Anything smaller is stupid. And yes, we have the space to spare.
Lastly, it seems my food "print" is much smaller than most of you folks... Probably because 60% of my diet is raw green leafy vegetables (romaine lettuce, kale, swiss chard, etc.) and the remaining part is mostly other vegetables and fruits and nuts.
