Quiz: How Green is Your Life?
With constant warnings about climate change, global warning and the depletion of natural resources, virtually everyone is now aware that we need to live a greener lifestyle.
And while using a jute bag instead of plastic carrier bags when you go shopping once a week is a small step in the right direction, it certainly isn't enough if you want to make a real difference and do your bit for the environment.
So, are you really adopting a more eco-friendly lifestyle – or just paying lip service to the idea?
Take our Twenty Questions Green Quiz to find out just how far up the environmental ladder you’ve climbed ….
