Test your green credentials and discover how environmentally friendly you really are

Life’s full of little challenges. Anyone who aspires to live in a greener way will have experienced those moments when a little devil suddenly appears on your shoulder.

“Go on, buy a gas-guzzling SUV,” it says. “So what if you live in Chipping Norton, not the Australian Outback? You’ll be able to park on top of other vehicles – it’s practical.”

The way we respond to these ethical temptations defines who we are. Friends of the Earth is an organisation that knows a lot about being green: It is the most influential environmental network in the world, with more than 2 million supporters in 77 countries. That’s why it has launched a new website to help you work out how green you really are on a range of issues from food and fashion to charities and holidays.

There’s no doubt that we’re all getting better at being kind to the planet – recycling and using low-energy light bulbs is now part of the daily routine for people across the country. That’s great news, but many of the things that are most harmful to the planet are still not widely publicised. That means it’s harder for you to make an informed choice.

So how environmentally friendly are you? Taking the test will not only give you an insight into how environmentally friendly you really are, but also help you beat climate change.
