Now add up your score____________________Define Green
If you scored 100 your are green, lean and mean. I mean, if you scored a perfect 10...Wow, I am proud of you I guess. If you scored less than perfect you are among the majority. If you only scored a 10 then you might need to take a look at your life and change a few things. Look, it is ok to recycle even if there is big profit in recycling. Now, if you were happened to be in the middle you are like me, going green. I change what I can when I can and push forward with my life. THIS IS BY NO MEANS, a sure way to test your greenness. It is just a way to have a little fun in the process of going green.
This little inventory is by no means complete. I just got tired of writing questions. However, it will give you a little idea of how far you might need to go. I have a suggestion, write your own definition of going green and send it to me. Define Green- you can do it. If you want to read others opinion of what green is click on this link.
