I found that handful of quizzes at the National Geographic web page. Instead of being boring and advisory about everyday choices we all have to make in an attempt to improve our environment, NG chooses another tactics and puts in front of us seemingly simple questions to answer. All questions concern our daily life routines, from air conditioning and seasonal food to installment of solar batteries systems and gardening. I have tried myself in the half of the tests and was surprised to find out that I was too optimistic about my level of "sustainable" knowledge. Do you know that washing machine uses unbelievable 155 liters of water per load? Actually, washers are not the first water consumers in the home but are behind the toilets. If you believe that you are a seasonal food follower, it would be useful to know that meat is not a year round product but on the on the list of seasonal food in the company with apples and wild rice. Anyway, if you do not consider the most of the correct answers as the rules to lead a sustainable life (either due to their economical impracticality or impossibility for the Moscow way of life), you will have a chance to start living more consciously, think before do and, I hope, stop taking a bath instead of shower.
