When you open this site at first, a request to put in your name and email may come up. Disregard it. Click on the background, outside of the request (which will then disappear), and you will be able to see what is below. Follow the steps from the “Get Started” tab. Drag the blue ball along the horizontal lines to select your values. Click “next” until you have answered all segments. After you have filled in all your values, under the “Your footprint” tab, you will see “Your total footprint,” “Similar households” and an average. Report “your total footprint” and the average, and then, comment on them.
