CJ David asks himself :-) "What's my ecological footprint? Do I consume more than our planet Earth can sustain or replenish?"
Let's find out with these simple ecological calculators to give us an idea:

Survey for Sustainability and Eco-Footprint Calculator

Ecological footprint is a measure of human consumption of natural resources against planet Earth's ecological capacity to regenerate them. This concept and calculation method was developed by Mathis Wackernagel and William Rees.
I calculated with EcologicalFootprint.Org and my score there was 14.8. The sustainable score is 15, so I passed, but I don't think that's enough. I should do more.
So what's your score? And what do you think should we do to lessen or to balance our ecological footprint?
