10. If i moved to a cardboard box in a large city, ate manure, went naked...

and shunned all transport that required machinery (human powered or not) I MIGHT get down to one earth, instead of 6. There is NO mass transit in my little town, I fly 2X a year on business, and I'm not a Vegan.

So the inferrence here is that I'm "immoral" in my consumption? Boy, I'm really rolling in it, y'know...No DSL, no Dish network, No cable, a pre-paid cellie, no yacht, no Harley, no "4-wheeler", no SUV, even though I could justify it by virtue of the main highway closing down at LEAST 2 days every winter...

In fact, I "massaged" my numbers, and if:
I was a 65+ year-old Vegan living with 7 others in a 500-sq-foot freestanding shack w/no electricity or running water.
And if all my veggies were local.
And if I never threw anything away.
And if the climate was like Phoenix, in a city of 1,000,000.
And if I never traveled by machine,

THEN I'd get by on 1 earth.
Never mind that I'd feel pretty miserable running around in just a "penis sheath" munching on termites....


I think this quiz is pre-freeped.
