here is a web site which will give an indication of your land use. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/world/2002/disposable_planet/quiz/
 
My footprint was 4.5ha with the Oz average at 7.6ha per person, To drop mine further would only occur with a lot of disruption . This would need some  hard decisions but perhaps it may be forced upon us.
 
Some other comparisons:
 
US citizens needs 9.8ha and Bangladesh 0.8ha
 
The worlds productive land allows 1.8ha per person
