April 7, 2008 - My Footprint.org Press Release
Oakland, Calif. April 7, 2008 – Today, Oakland-based Redefining Progress will launch a much anticipated new version of what Time magazine dubbed as one of the 50 best websites of 2007 — the Ecological Footprint Quiz found at myfootprint.org.
Originally released in 2002, the ecological footprint is one of the world’s most well-known measures of sustainability. The redesigned Quiz calculates an individual’s ecological footprint based on 27 lifestyle questions related to their energy use and transportation habits, housing choices, food choices, and selection of goods and services. Millions of people in 145 countries have been using the quiz as a personal roadmap for ecologically conscientious living.
Built by Redefining Progress and international web developer Kinga Dow Productions, the new Quiz reflects state of the art footprint methodology, addresses emerging issues such as carbon offsets, and creates an online forum to build a community of stakeholders committed to maintaining and improving the accuracy and relevancy of the quiz over time.
