What is Your Ecological Footprint?

How big are your feet? Well, your "carbon footprint" anyway. :-)

BASIC
Using the Ecological Footprint Calculator or Consumer Consequences or My Footprint, evaluate your ecological footprint, explore the information on these sites and think about what it means.  Tell us what surprised you most after working through this activity.  Make some kind of creative representation of your footprint's impact on the environment with Google Sketch-Up, Gliffy or some other graphic design software, if you can.
