I've not read the website, of course. But "shelter" strikes me as a fairly one-time expense, if it's building materials and such.

you have to heat and cool the house, so the bigger it is the more energy it uses to do so...
my score was over 6 planets, ouch. what killed me was i commute 70mi total to work and back a day (marion to iowa city and back, for anyone nosey). the university has carpools, which i think are great, but as a mom, i need to have transportation available in case i need to leave in the middle of the day... the doubled gas prices have KILLED our budget. i drive a 2000 taurus sel, ~28mpg last time i checked.
