Are you a Green citizen?

We are all citizens of Planet Earth and rely on it for food, air, water and much more, so not only is it our responsibility to care for the environment, it’s also in our best interests! So, how much effort are you making to reduce your impact on the environment? Are you a bright green citizen or more of an embarrassing shade of red?

1 I try to conserve water e.g. by taking short showers, not letting taps run, keeping water in the fridge instead of letting the tap run to let it get cold, etc.

2 I walk, ride my bike, rollerblade, carpool¹ or use public transport whenever I can.

3 I 'reduce, reuse, recycle' as much as I can!

4 I try to learn about nature by visiting wildlife reserves and/or national parks.

5 I put coffee grounds/fruit and vegetable peels etc on a compost heap.

6 I take part in local environmental projects e.g. litter collection/tree-planting/recycling projects etc.

7 I buy unprocessed, organic and locally-grown food.

8 I check that the products I buy, e.g. cleaning products, electrical equipment, are safe for the environment.

9 I turn off computers/lights/electronic equipment when I'm not using them.

10 I buy from environmentally responsible businesses.

11 I use rechargeable instead of disposable batteries.

12 I refuse plastic bags in the supermarket and use my own cloth bags instead.
