Howdy!
OK, So I think of myself as pretty green. I drive a hybrid car, use reusable bags, I recycle as much as I can and I'm even a vegetarian! Which is why my jaw hit the ground when I saw my score on this Footprint Calculator. I guess I understand that I use entirely too much energy (But in 100 degree temps I won't be turning my air conditioning off), and I know that I should eat more local foods, even though I try my best.
If everyone were to live the way I do- it would take 4 1/2 planet earths to keep up with me and my living. Holy Crap!! I was not at all expecting it to be 4 1/2. I was hoping for 1/2 a planet!
I answered highest on services. The website suggests I attach solar panels to my house, which I hope to do in the near future, and that I should use public transportation more often. I completely agree. I never use public transportation and only carpool with my husband when we go places.
The only one I'm really going to have a hard time with is Traveling. I made a life choice a long time ago to see one new place every year. I always try to get direct flights as it uses less fuel in the planes, but with the economy now days almost every flight has at least one layover.
Anyway- I was completely surprised by my results. Did anyone else score as high as I did?

Just a bit about me
Hi Everyone!
My name is Theresa- I'm 23 years old and currently reside in Riverside, CA. I was born in Riverside, but moved to Nevada at a young age where I stayed until I was 18 years old. I now live here with my husband and two pit bulls (Bonnie and Klyde). I enjoy watching movies, discovering new music and catching up on the latest celebrity gossip.
My current job is deathly boring, which helped me in my decision to go back to school. In 2009 I graduated RCC's Culinary academy and worked in food establishments ever since. When I couldn't keep my feet in an institution that would stay in business, I made the choice to switch to a desk job, and I pretty much hate it.
My goal is to get my Bachelors degree in Psychology and become a clinical psychologist. It's a desk job, yes- but I'm pretty sure it's going to make me much happier than my current job. I am interested in Environmental science because I try to be as Eco-friendly as possible and am very interested in how people of the world are damaging the planet and I would like to learn how we can fix it.
My question that I would like to know about- is what is going on with the Bee's?! Is it really as bad as everyone is saying it is? And how do we fix it?
I look forward to meeting everyone in our class :).
