How Big Is Your Environmental Footprint?

Is your environmental impact a tiny tiptoe or a thunderous stomp? Take this quiz to check how your daily activities affect the earth, and to find out your environmental shoe size.

Power strips are great for:

Plugging in a bunch of stuff, so everything's all powered up when I need it.
Plugging in even more power strips, so I can use ALL of my electronics at once.
Making it easier to reach my plugs when I want to unplug them.
Making sure stuff doesn't suck up energy when I'm not using it. I just flip that little switch to "off."

Your idea of the perfect day outdoors involves:

Downhill skiing, snowboarding, golfing, or swimming in a pool.
Riding an ATV, snowmobiling, water-skiing, or another motor sport.
Picking flowers, collecting shells, mountain biking (off the trail).
Hanging out, hiking, biking, canoeing, or swimming in a river, lake, or ocean.

How green are your shopping habits?

I only shop green if I'm buying something green... as in, the color green.
A bit green. Once in a while, I say "I don't need a bag."
Pretty green. I usually bring my own bag, and I try to buy things that are recycled, recyclable, and reusable.
Very green. I always bring my own bag. I only buy things I really need, and I do my best to make environmentally-friendly purchases.

You open the mailbox, and it's chock full of junk mail with your name on it. You:

Might recycle it -- unless a garbage can is more convenient.
Toss it in the recycling bin without looking at it.
Ask the companies to remove me from their lists, and then recycle it.
Toss it in the trash or on the ground. It's called "junk mail," right?

You're at a place to eat. What do you order?

The meat-lovers supreme with extra ham and a side of hamburger.
Maybe something meaty, maybe not -- depends on my mood.
A grilled veggie burger with cheese.
The vegan tofu scramble. All the yumminess, none of the animal products.

What do you like best about gardens?

Growing my own food.
Growing flowers.
Not much. They're dirty and full of weeds. I'd rather stay inside.
Squirting pesticides on everything. Die, little buggies, die!

If you decide to drive somewhere, it's probably because:

Three of my friends and I need a ride, there's no public transportation available, and it's too far to walk.
It's kind of far, and the weather isn't exactly walk-friendly.
I'm just not in the mood to walk there.
Who needs a reason? I just like driving.

Recycling:

A pain in my butt. I throw stuff away when you're not watching.
Sigh. I throw stuff away when I feel lazy.
Matters. I almost never throw a recyclable thing in the trash.
My best friend. It actually hurts me to throw away a recyclable thing.
