In case anybody is intrested, I got a nice low Ecological Footprint total of 4.92, well below the average for the US (and presumably Canada). Michael

Roger,
 
I got 7.1 from the quiz.
 
Although it seems like eco-footprints might also have a different meaning.  I'd learned that an eco-footprint was the legacy that nature left behind at the moment of human intervention.   For example, if you open a clearing in a forest for agricultural purposes, then the ecological footprint would be that of a forest along with all its site factors (e.g. high pH...).  The historical account of a site under ecological influence.
 
I guess, as in many cases, this is another example of a word having different meanings.  
 
Cheers,
 
Robin
