The WEF is a measure of our use of renewable natural resources. It is the area of the Earth's surface (that is biologically productive) required for the sustainable existance of a human being. The WEF is currently 2.3ish hectares, where the upper limit of sustainability is 1.8 hectares.

Ecological Footprint quiz

My results, formatted and annotated by me
Category: Global Hectares.

MOBILITY: 1.2
SHELTER: 0.4
GOODS/SERVICES: 1.6
TOTAL FOOTPRINT: 6.9

In comparison, the average ecological footprint in [Australia] is 7.6 global hectares per person.

Worldwide, there [currently, as this decreases as there be more people] exist 1.8 biologically productive global hectares per person.

If everyone lived like [me], we would need 3.8 planets. [Luckily for us, there are all those people living in developing countries bringing down the average. Though 2.3 is still way too high.]
