    Bah, if everyone lived like me we would need 7.2 planets. What a load of B.S. My house alone requires over two planets according to the score. :rolleyes:

    Where exactly is the goods/services score coming from? I don't seem to recall any questions dealing with goods/services. Are that making an assumption based upon the country we are from?

    Edit:

    Ha, in the take action section they have a number of things to do with each score but there is nothing even there for goods and services. Like I said - a load of B.S. :shake:

    I was going to say I was a glutton at 5.7 planets, but then I read JSBB's post.

    If you feel bad about something, just compare yourself to someone from Ontario, and you'll instantly feel better. :p

    It would seem that my score is largely boosted by my being a bachelor living by himself - if I keep everything else the same but make it so that I am part of a family of four my score goes down to 4.4 planets.

    Oh, and it would appear that goods and services is somehow calculated based upon the other scores.

    3.4 for some reason. Damned if I know what meat has to do with anything since it grows almost as fast as agriculture and most of its diet involves grass - stuff humans don't/can't eat.

    But really, that is not the accurate. For example, I live where there is no public transportation for several km, I don't live near anybody so I cannot carpool, and really, how many people don't have meat at least once a day?
