  1. I am so incredibly honored to be linked here. Thanks!

    That Sierra Club quiz is horribly deficient. For example, #7 gives you no other possible answer but yes. My answer would be no, especially since a previous question determined that I always wash in cold water. Actually, most of the eco-quizzes I’ve ever taken are like that, like the ones that determine your carbon footprint. I wonder why?

    And that tailpipe grill is ridiculous, although I’ve always wanted to try cooking something under the hood.

  2. Thank you! That was a great experiment!

    I don’t know why they can’t make better eco-quizzes. Maybe we have a project on our hands.
