Check out this site:

I was looking through the FAQ section and they link to a spreadsheet that is more detailed http://redefiningprogress.org/programs/sustainabilityindicators/ef/ef_household_0203.xls
I might try to fill it in sometime and see what I can down a few notches.
For the simpler ecofoot scale I really guessed on a few things (I have no idea how big the house I live in is) it said I had a total footprint of 7 acres.
"IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 24 ACRES PER PERSON. WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 4.5 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE ACRES PER PERSON.
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 1.6 PLANETS. "
So, I'll have to look into bringing that down a bit, at least 3 acres worth, preferably more (to make up for all the others out there).
