Using the calculator tools provided, I found that if everyone lived like me, we would need 2.3 Earths. I also found that I contribute 19 tons of carbon dioxide each year. This is largely due to the fact that I eat meat every day, I travel about forty miles each day by train, I make a lot of clothing purchases each month and I travel using airplanes each year. I would be willing to eat more plant based meals and not eat meat every day. Also, I do not think that it is necessary to purchase new clothing items each month. However, being that I commute to school each day, I would not be able to travel less daily. I found that if I were to give these things up, I would need 1.5 Earths and would contribute 14 tons of CO2 each year.
