Ok, I'll bite, sucker that I am for fast-food Internet stats analyses...
 TOTAL FOOTPRINT 9.5 IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 8.8 GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON. WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 1.8 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON. IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 5.3 PLANETS.

I was 3.9 planets. The choices in the survey were way to narrow for any decent presentation other than good or bad.

Our civlization (country) cannot long endure in it's current mode. I was at 5.3 hectares.
Sure, it's generalized. Probably in the ball park though.

I have a total footprint of 68
 Is that for real? I need 15.1 Earth to support me  Wow, that means I need 13 more MB to drive around on each of the Earth.

BTW, I didn't select acres and I noted that several people reported in hectares. Did I miss a radio button? 14 acres is what, +/- 6.5 ha? I busted bad on the folks living under the roof (2 kids have moved out so I didn't count them) and also the driving thing: I LIKE driving, damn it! B

I knew I could count on you for an informed, lucid, and succinct explanation, Bot. Thank you ever so much!

A hectare is 10,000 square meters, or 2.47 meters.
Not sure of the origin of acre but I believe a section (one square mile) is 625 acres, so 25 acres on the edge of a square mile. Sounds about right since an acre is a square roughly 208 feet long on each side. 208 x 25 = 5200. I had a hard time getting the button to chose country to work but eventually pressed "English." I got hectares.
