Ecological behaviour
bins, recycling, appliances...
1. Are you eco-friendly?
Do the questionnaire to find out how eco-friendly you are. Choose your answer, and then find out your score.
Now check your score against the key below. Do you agree with what it says?
| Questionnaire key: | |
| Score 0-3 | You're a very eco-friendly person. You use energy efficiently and do what you can to make less of an impact on the environment. |
| Score 4-7 | At least you're trying. Perhaps you are aware of the importance of saving energy and resources. Of course, we've all got good intentions, but putting ideas into practice is another thing. |
| Score 8-10 | You're not particularly eco-friendly, it seems. Maybe you're too busy. In all areas of your life there are ways you could save energy and resources, and save money as well! |
2. Questionnaire answers.
Here are one person's answers to some of the questions in the questionnaire. Which questions do they correspond to?

| 6. | At night, when you leave a room, do you always turn the light out? |
