The quiz is a little unbalanced. There's only 1 question for Goods/Services, 2 questions for Food, 3 questions for shelter, and 7 questions for Mobility. Shelter seems to be the killer for most people.
I might have been able to reduce my Mobility footprint if only I used more animal power to get around.
I have no idea why my mobility requires one acre, but the goods and services I intake require 4.9 acres.
Minimum possible score: FOOD 1.7 MOBILITY 0 SHELTER 0.5 GOODS/SERVICES 0.2 TOTAL FOOTPRINT 2
Maximum possible score: FOOD 6.9 MOBILITY 28.9 SHELTER 30.4 GOODS/SERVICES 67.2 TOTAL FOOTPRINT 133
Looks like when I'm a billionaire living alone in a mansion and flying my personal jet everywhere, I'll leave a big ol' carbon footprint. Maybe that's what drove Howard Hughes crazy. Only one way to find out!

Mr. W., this is a great idea. I can't wait to see Kelly crouched outside your door wearing fabulous Katharine Hepburn pants and trying to talk to you.
The weight given to mobility is indeed interesting. We need more animal transport.
I got 24. Katie, you're a really good person!
I just took the quiz and as a granola-crunching housebound vegetarian I am able to live in just one world!
At the next party we'll be showing up in my pimped out buggy.
