Why not live the green life? It’s actually a fun and beneficial way to get through the day! Saving the environment is more than just a task – it’s a passion with underlying benefits. It can actually bring out the best in us, by living a simpler, down-to-earth (pun intended!) way of life. So, do you think you can live this kind of life? Take this short quiz to find out just that:
You’re doing your groceries. Do you:
A. Use a plastic bag
B. Why should I do my groceries?
C. Bring and use your own bag
If you picked choice B, shame on you! Aren’t you supposed to be doing your chores? Kidding aside, bring and making use of your own eco-friendly bag can bring in a world of happiness. Using plastic bags may seem to be simple and otherwise unnoticeable thing to do. But using – and the potential disposal – these bags can actually do the most damage to the environment. These bags can breakdown in large bodies of water, contaminating marine eco-systems. They can also be consumed by different wildlife, putting their lives in danger. Stop this madness by simply bringing your own bag. Besides, eco-friendly bags are actually very fashionable, with lots of designers using them as templates for their designs.
You’ve got tons of old newspapers. Do you:
A. Burn them. Who needs them, anyway?
B. Sell them
C. See if they can be used for wraps – especially for your wet goods
If you’ve answered B or C, then good for you. There’s a ton of garbage already out there in the world. There’s no reason to add to the load. By recycling and making use of your garbage, you’re bound to create treasures out of them. For paper, you can sell them to get extra change. You can even use them in several art projects, like paper mache. For plastic bottles, you can use them as pots for your houseplants. The way you recycle your trash is only limited to your imagination.
Your girlfriend lives a block away from you. Do you:
A. Take a cab
B. Drive a car
C. Walk
Choose C then you’re on your way living the green life. Reducing our carbon footprint can effectively help out the environment. Besides, walking is good for you! You get to exercise those muscles!
Being green-minded is no easy feat. But you can make it happen. Have these quiz ready at all times, in case you need to remind yourself to turn green. Aside from that, smile while you save the Earth!
