      There are loads of carbon footprint calculators where you can answer questions about your lifestyle and find out how many earths we'd need if everyone lived like you.

      They tend to be pretty grim if you live like the typical first worlder.

        Got 2.22 with the info I have(food taking up most of it).

        Medication is covered fully by insurance, so can't calculate it, and I did not spend that much this year. But it still feels way to low for somebody who lives in a first world country and eats meat daily. Could be that I did not need any new electronics or clothes this year. Ontop of not owning a car and i've not flown in a plane in over a decade.

          feels way too low

          Yeah, I was 0.8 electricity, and 1.4 from food. I think you underestimate just how much most first world people spend yearly on clothes and etc. The average American throws away 70 pounds of clothing per year, and spends $269 monthly on entertainment.
