How do you define consumption, and how did you come up with the 90% figure? I commend your efforts but that's... A little hard to believe.

You mean to say you used to "consume" 10x what you do now? I'm skeptical that's even possible for someone living in the first world. Just food, clothing, and housing is too much consumption to make that figure reasonable.

I can only compare roughly, but I compared my footprint now, which is 0.4 Earths http://joshuaspodek.com/my-ecological-footprint, with the average American, which is 5.0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_footprint. I figure I contributed about average for American before.

My TEDx talks cover some of the major changes http://joshuaspodek.com/my-tedx-talk-is-online-find-your-del.... The important part was shedding the myths erroneously justifying flying or packaged food. Then practicing and finding the joy, community, and connection that life is about when you avoid polluting behavior.
