Yesterday we took a few quizzes where we answered questions regarding how we do things in our lives, such as transportation, shelter, electronics, such and such. For one of these quizzes there were subtotals to each category, then we had to add all those subtotals, after that divide that number by this other number, and that would be the number of planets needed for the human race, if every human lived just like us. Of course it was individualized, so these numbers were different for everyone. For me it was 8.21, for this other kid in the class it was like 3.
We then had to list a few things we could do to perhaps make that number lower. I considered not using a laundry dryer and instead placing my clothes out in the yard below the sun.
