Ecological Footprint

Leaders of the Free World consider North Korea as a threat to world peace with good reason. Their intelligence organizations accuse the Hermit Nation of counterfeiting, drug trafficking, and rampant arms dealing as well as the Communist country's pursuit of an intercontinental ballistic missile, however North Korea's most recent launch was a failure and their  danger to world peace is graphically revealed by a satellite photo of the hermit nation.

South Korea had bright cities.

North Korea? My Christmas tree has more lights. 

So basically the most dangerous Axis of Evil is ecologically sound.

What about my ecological footprint? I recycle, eat fresh food, exercise, pick up plastic at the beach, bike, and drink beer, but to discover my impact on the planet, there was only one way to find out.

The Happy Planet Index tests your compatibility of the environment through a series of questions about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Multiple choice.

Completely anonymous.

First question is about your place of residence.

A setback, since USA with 3% of the world population consuming 25% of the energy, but yesterday I scored 82 which is close to the ideal HPI. Today's 64 is on par with #2 Columbia. Cocaine makes happy faces.

 My life expectancy is 80.

My ecological footprint is level with #162 Botswana.

Guess I'm a tree hugger or consumer deprived. 

Everything else was above average.

So I guess life isn't so bad for the moment. Let's hope I keep it that way.

One more thing North Korea isn't listed in the Happy Planet Index.
