A Little About My Green-ality

Here is some information about me and how I am currently helping our environment:
1. I am a vegan. This means that I eat absolutely NO dairy, meat, poultry or fish. What this means for our environment? I have absolutely nothing to do with factory farming or food/waste pollution. 
2. I shop at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and the organic section of my local grocery store. What this means is that I buy almost all locally produced, fair trade, or organic food. What this means for our environment? I buy from local farmers who still practice sustainable farming methods, and I contribute very little to food transportation pollution. 
3. I do not own a car, and take public transportation and my bike everywhere. What this means for our environment? I carpool through public transportation which helps save car emissions. 

That's just a little about me and what I do for the environment. What is your life like? Do you have any of the same habits? What could you improve upon?

Footprint Calculator

I took this test to determine my ecological footprint, and this is how I did. It's not great, but not terrible either.
