Chris asks…
How eco-friendly are you?
Reposting for as many results as possible for my map – last post I swear. I’ve had some people think this is a lecture, it really is just research, I want to map the USA, UK and Canada (if I get enough results that is) in red, orange and green. Anyhoo…
Quick quiz – you get an answer and I get coursework help 😀
Question One: How would you describe your diet?
A) Meat Eater
B) Vegetarian
C) Vegan
Question Two: How often do you buy organic fruit and vegetables?

B) Occasionally
C) Often
Question Three: How much of your waste do you recycle?
A) None
B) Some
C) Most
Question Four: What vehicle do you use for personal transport?

B) Sometimes
C) Often
Question Seven: How long do you spend commuting per week?
A) 25+ hours
B) 11-24 hours
C) 0-10 hours
Mostly A: Your eco-footprint is much bigger than it should be! By implementing a few simple techniques you can reduce it! Recycling, walking and taking public transport more often, eating less meat and buying local organic produce are all great way sto reduce your eco-footprint!
Mostly B: You’re doing some things well, but a few simple changes can bring you up to scratch! Donating your old clothes to charity shops or clothes banks, composting your food, and growing your own fruit and vegetables can all reduce your eco-footprint.
Mostly C: Great job! You’re on track to be a perfect eco-warrior – but there are still other things you can do! Encourage others to recycle and maybe start a carpool with those who live near!
Two last things – please tell me where you’re from (nearest major city, or state if you’re from the US) as I’m making a colour map of these results. Oh and if you’re curious, my result is a mostly B (I like my meat)
Thank you!

B) 11-24 hours – i don’t mind a longer drive sometimes. I have no intention of being chained to where i work.
I’m from Irvine, California, USA
I’m not much a eco-friendly or what I prefer “tree hugger”.
But its not like I don’t like to be green in my own way.
– I’m ahead of the curve, I skipped the nasty CFL and went with LED, EL’s 3 years ago. No telling how much power i saved. (I actually did have CFLs, but they were so bad I bought the first LED lamp that was practical. It was $95. The CFLs did not last anywhere as much as claimed, more like 900-1000 hrs. They also gave off massive UV heating and broke very easily, often times as I was screwing them in!)
LEDs last about 100,000 hours or some 20 years, no toxins, easy to recycle or dispose, no UV radiation, good light color, and use even less power! However 80 bucks is hard for most people to afford.
ELs are an alternative light source. I use them when I need light but not bright light. They use very little power, no heat, no toxins, don’t break, and still has an unknown product life. Some of the very first EL’s are still working well even after 440,000 hours, since their introduction in electric clocks in late 1950s!
– I am a hypermiler. I generally do this because gas gets pricey. Actually that’s how i got into it to begin with. A few years ago gas spiked at about $5 per gallon. I could barely afford to drive to work. My car is not fuel efficient, but its the only one i have, loaned from my dad. I cannot buy a new car to to excessive California taxes. So I was stuck with a car that was getting about 12 mpg city and 16 mpg highway.
Hypermiling has allowed me to often get mpg similar to one of those fancy Priuses or Insights. About 29 city and 35 highway. Sometimes if i had the chance I’d show off with mileages as high as 50 mpg!
It saves gas, reduces pollution, saves me money, reduces wear on tires. However it is hard on the transmission and generally blocks traffic flow. It only takes one jerk (me) driving 55 on the outermost lane of the freeway to make tens of thousands of people late to work. Its legal to drive 55, but since I’d rather not get involved in a case of road rage with several angry drivers, I only get to do this during the off-times or during times of heavy traffic, when everyone is driving really slow.
Frequently i don’t have the patience to hypermile, my mpg goes back to being terrible.
– I also garden my own food. Kinda. Its my parent’s garden, i help them out in it and get to share the harvest.

Just want to CLARIFY this is a QUIZ so I can actually colour map various countries, and it is for my GCSE GEOGRAPHY COURSEWORK. Not trying to be rude, but this is supposed to be fun, and I don’t appreciate being accused of lecturing. Thank you.
Please, anyone who wants to answer this question sensibly, feel free 😀
Ok again…QUIZ read the whole question please?and I need to know where you’re from, roughly.
