My test
I don't know of its validity but I tried the test as well and got a 4.39. The most interesting part was the graph at the end which compared my results with the rest of the country. In the places where we have taken action (goods and services and housing) we are substantially below the average for the US. In terms of carbon footprint, probably because I fly to DC a few times each year for work, we are significantly above the average.
The one problem I had with really understanding the results was that it compared my to others in the US. Since I know that we consume a large proportion of the world's resources, being much better than the rest of the US is probably not be good enough. I would have liked a comparison by category with what would be sustainable for all.
