A quick online quiz from Transition Australia ( click the answers to estimate your Earth load )
Or download an Excel version of the My Ecological Footprint worksheet from the Transition Streets online course guide.
The Earth-Global Hectares concept used in the Excel worksheet can be a bit technical – but one idea is easy to see – When in the calendar year did you use up your share of the Earth?
This date is the Earth Overshoot Day ( for the World in 2021 – July 29th ) – that is when we used up one Earth of bio-capacity – for the rest of the year we were eating our future. But for Australia it was March 22nd, 2021.
