Exactly how much of an impact are you leaving on the environment? Experts will tell you that everything you do, from the clothes you wear, the food you eat, and how you get to work in the morning, have an impact on the planet because of carbon emissions. Find out your carbon footprint by taking the quiz, and see just how many planets we'd need if everyone lived like you. The results may be unnerving. The site does a good job of encouraging changes we can make to reduce our carbon footprints. Suddenly I'm sensing a nobler incentive to turn vegetarian.
