How green are you?

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

I believe I got this from the MLEV, the Mass. League of Environmental Voters, prior to the BE'08 opening session Tuesday night. And yes, I'm partly showing off, 'cause G and I scored very well, if you know what I mean, though I don't take enough public trans., and we could buy more local foods and make it more of a priority. I would ask anyone reading to pick one out as a goal, regardless of how many you get:

How green are you? 

1. Do you use pesticides on the lawn? 2. Do you take your own reuseable bag to the grocery store?

3. Does your car get more than 35 miles per gallon?

4. Do you buy local?

5. Do you take public transportation?

6.  Do you turn the water off while brushing your teeth and/or shaving?

7. Are any of your appliances Energy Star?

8. Do you vote?

9. Do you only run full loads in the washing machine and dishwasher?

10. Do you use bleach or ammonia cleaning products in your home?
