Quiz: How Green Are You?

Is much of your wardrobe made of hemp? When’s the last time you drank a cup of coffee that (gasp) wasn’t fair trade? Ever stopped being friends with someone just because they drove an SUV? As we all know, there’s green, and then there’s GREEN. In honor of Earth Day on April 22, take this quiz to find out how environmentally aware you are.

1. You buy a cup of tea at the deli and the cashier places it inside a paper bag along with a straw, 25 napkins, several packets of sugar, and a plastic spoon. You:

a. Take it and go.
b. Politely explain that you don’t really need all that stuff.
c. Give her your patented lecture titled: It’s People Like You Who Are Destroying the World!
