How Green is Your Yard Quiz??

How green is your yard? Quiz

Take the quiz and share your results with the rest of us..

This quiz is more of what do you know about keeping your yard green (meaning Earth Friendly).. I did quite well, a bit suprised was I.. I am guilty of not having enough native plants and drought tolerant plants..

Your Score: 9 (You're Greener than Al Gore!)
You know organic gardening! Your compost pile is hot, your native plants are dotted with ladybugs and you're a mulching maniac. If more people worked their landscape like you, the earth would be safe!

What is Your Footprint on the Earth?

The quiz is based on national consumption averages and is meant to give you an idea of your Ecological Footprint relative to other people in the country you live in. It is not highly detailed, but should give most people an idea of where they stand. You can take the quiz here...
