What's your HPI?

[alwayz_yummy]

buti nalang kulang ng "C" kung di HCPI

Your personal Happy Planet Index (HPI) is 41.8, which is similar to that of countries such as Japan, New Zealand or Congo. Sorry to say that this is below the world average of 46, and about the same as the UK average. Your score is below that of your country, 59.2.

Below is a breakdown of the various components that make up your HPI score.

You: 41.8
Average: 43.3
[Average is of all online responses to this survey - not the average for your country]



Life Expectancy
Your life expectancy is lower than the average for your gender and country. You might have noticed some of the questions we've asked related to your life expectancy are related to factors beyond your control, such as family history. However, others, particularly your lifestyle choices - whether and how much you smoke and exercise, and what you eat - can be changed for the better. Everyone knows these habits can be hard to change, but you wouldn't be the first to do so!

Average: 80.9

Ecological Footprint
Your ecological footprint is 2.63 global hectares, or 1.46 planets. This is equivalent to the average in countries such as Argentina, Belize or Chile.

Your ecological footprint is greater than the average for the country you live in. If you live in a country with large economic inequalities, do note that this might be the case even if you are environmentally aware and trying to reduce your footprint, as others in your country might be living in very different circumstances. For example, Brazil's mean footprint of 2.2 g ha does not distinguish between the very low consumption lives of tribes in the Amazon, and those of people living Western-style lives in the big cities, whose personal footprints will inevitably be much higher.

You are using between one and one and a half times your share of the planet's resources (assuming no resources are put aside for other species). This is below average for industrialised countries, typical instead of people in many middle income countries such as Jamaica. The world average is 2.2 g ha. For those living in industrialised countries: you are probably already aware of your resource use, and act considerately. Knocking those last few deci-hectares of your footprint is, we know, very tricky. For people in the west, the most effective steps to take include the following:

Park away your car for when you absolutely need it. Why not climb onto your bike, or the bus? 2-wheels good, 4-wheels bad (unless they're big, bus wheels, of course!)
Cut down on meat. Depending on the animal you're eating and what it's been fed, it could be taking up to 16 pounds of crop feed from the fields to get 1 pound of meat into the supermarket. Of course, meat is not the only issue at hand. If your protein-rich vegan diet is being imported from the other side of the world, that's not too good for your footprint either.
Perhaps the most guaranteed, but also most painful, way to reduce your footprint is to cut down on flights. For example, flying from London to Athens and back adds 0.77 g ha to your footprint - more than people in many countries use over an entire year.

Life Satisfaction
You reported a life satisfaction of 8. This is the most common response across UK and indeed all of Europe. However, it is above average, so we are happy that you are so happy. Only in two countries is the mean life satisfaction higher - Switzerland and Denmark.

You: 8
Average: 6.74

Well-being
The new economics foundation (nef) recognises that there's more to life than feeling good, which is why our model for well-being is based on four domains – personal feelings, personal functionings, social feelings and social functionings. 'Feelings' refers to your attitude to the way you, your future and society are. 'Functionings' looks at whether you have the opportunities to do the things that bring you well-being. Like with life satisfaction, a score of 5 is theoretically the middle score, but, given the way most people respond to surveys, is below average.

Personal Feelings
In this online questionnaire, personal feelings are assessed with two questions – one testing your optimism and one testing your self-esteem.

You are optimistic about the future and probably also about yourself.

You: 6.08
Average: 6.03
[Average is of all online responses to this survey - not the average for your country]

Personal Functionings
In this online questionnaire personal functionings are assessed with five questions – two evaluating your subjective opinion on your health and how activity you are, the other three testing you for feelings of autonomy, purpose and worth.

You are healthy and overall feel autonomous, purposeful and able to demonstrate your abilities to others.

You: 5.88
Average: 6.15
[Average is of all online responses to this survey - not the average for your country]

Social Feelings
In this online questionnaire social feelings are assessed with four questions – three assessing your opinion of your community, whilst the last looks at personal relationships.

You have a strong sense of trust and belonging in your community and a happy personal life.

You: 6.08
Average: 5.67
[Average is of all online responses to this survey - not the average for your country]

Social Functionings
In this online questionnaire social functionings are assessed with four questions – two assessing your job / studies, one your free time, and one your community participation. If you did not respond to the work / study questions, your score is judged purely on the other two aspects.

You are satisfied with your job / course - it is interesting, and only occasionally stressful. Further it normally leaves you enough time to do the things you want to do.

Aww, ehehe:

Your personal Happy Planet Index (HPI) is 29.2, which is similar to that of Lithuania, United States of America or Côte d'Ivoire. Sorry to say that this is below the world average of 46. Your score is below that of your country, 59.2.

Below is a breakdown of the various components that make up your HPI score.
You:29.2

Average:

Life Expectancy

Your life expectancy is lower than the average for your gender and country.
You:46.2

Average:80.9


Ecological Footprint

Your ecological footprint is 1.27 global hectares, or 0.71 planets. This is equivalent to the average in countries such as Djibouti, Botswana or Chad.

Your ecological footprint is about average for the country you live in.

Congratulations. You are achieving 'one-planet living'. If everyone in the world lived like you, there would be enough resources for the entire human species, if not for other species.
You:1.27

Average:5.42


Life Satisfaction

You reported a life satisfaction of 5. Whilst this is technically the mid-point of the scale and should mean that you are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, in reality, it is below average in most countries, and is normally interpreted as a sign that a person is dissatisfied with life. At a national level, your score matches the means for Bosnia and Jordan. At the individual level, in the World Values Survey, over a third of respondents worldwide, and 16% of British respondents reported a life satisfaction of 5 or lower.
You:5

Average:6.74


Personal Feelings

You are very secure about yourself and about your future.
You:8.06

Average:6.03


Personal Functionings

In some ways you are unable to function in the way you would like. Perhaps you have had problems with your health, are feeling unable to make your own decisions, or do not have the opportunity to get involved in activities that give you a sense of purpose and ability. Some slight changes in lifestyle would help.
You:5.54

Average:6.15


Social Feelings

You have a strong sense of trust and belonging in your community and a happy personal life.
You:6.21

Average:5.67


Social Functionings

Your job / course is really not treating you well. Somehow it is at the same time dull and stressful! Either you're just going through a bad patch, or you really should consider moving on to somewhere else.
You:3.42

Average:5.59

Happy Planet Index
Your personal Happy Planet Index (HPI) is 90, which is above that for any country, including top-placed Vanuatu, and is even above the reasonable ideal we have set, of 83. Congratulations! You are achieving on a personal level what needs to be achieved at the national one. Your score is above that of your country, 59.2.

Below is a breakdown of the various components that make up your HPI score.

Life Expectancy
Hurray! Your life expectancy is well above average for your gender and country. Probably, you're doing all the major things right - eating well, not smoking, getting regular exercise, and you're lucky enough to have the right genes. Are there any more ways you could make a difference? Some factors that improve your life expectancy are more surprising than others. For example, giving up your car, avoiding living alone, moving out of the city and shrugging off stress.

Ecological Footprint
Your ecological footprint is 1.02 global hectares, or 0.57 planets. This is equivalent to the average in countries such as Armenia, Benin or Guinea.

Your ecological footprint is about average for the country you live in.

Congratulations. You are achieving 'one-planet living'. If everyone in the world lived like you, there would be enough resources for the entire human species, if not for other species. If you are living in an industrialised country, be aware that this is no mean feat. Given the infrastructure and society you live in, it is very hard to reduce one's footprint, even when making a big effort. No doubt you take environmental issues very seriously - avoiding motorised transportation, minimising meat in your diet and conserving and recycling where possible.
