How Green Are You?

You are highly aware that your actions affect the world around you and take great care to make sure you leave the least negative impact that you possibly can. You are mindful of your spending, waste production, and household behaviors that contribute to energy use. Your community looks at you as a good example of a modern citizen in a changing climate.

You consider climate change to be a pile of baloney and don't really feel the need to make any meaningful changes in your life to accommodate it. As far as you're concerned you only need to look out for yourself, and the powers in charge will make sure life on earth continues at whatever cost.

You weigh the environmental impact of every decision and purchase in your life, and always take the opportunities to preach the value of green living to whoever will listen. Some people perceive you as going too far, others perceive you as living righteously, but in the end you are sure that you are doing more good than harm with your lifestyle.

Your ears are just perking up to the green movement, and you are definitely on the way to living an energy-conscious life. You may sometimes still eat out, leave the light on by mistake, or take a shower that goes just a few minutes too long, but you are at least aware that your actions and habits have real-world consequences.

You have no strong feelings about green living on way or the other, so your actions reflect that. If you buy an eco-friendly product it's probably because it was on sale, but at least you don't vilify those who want to spend their consumer dollars on green products. You are willing to change your mind if someone has a better argument for why you should, but you haven't heard it yet.

You feel like many of the habits and behaviors of people who live green are already things you do, so you don't feel any extra urge to change your lifestyle in a dramatic way. You are willing to make small adaptations such as shorter showers, public transit, and buying more local foods as long as it doesn't inconvenience you much.
