The One-Minute Green Index Test


You were environmentally conscious - back when you were young and had nothing to lose. Then you began making real money and you lapsed into sleazy yuppie consumerism. But when the hottie at the gym ranted at you for tossing an empty plastic water bottle into the trash, you realized it was time to "get verdant."

Let's see how you're doing.

 

I announce my green-ness to the world by:

1. Wearing green contact lenses and going by the name "#00FF00."
2. Suspending all oral hygiene until my smile has a moss-like tint.
3. Drinking as little water as possible so I can point out to strangers
    that my urine is the color of Rose's Lime Juice.

Al Gore is:

1. A national hero.
2. God (okay, maybe more like Buddha).
3. A name that uses unnecessary characters, thus wasting precious
    resources. "L GOR" is greener.

I have installed solar panels:

1. On the roof of my home.
2. In sunny locations throughout my yard.
3. On the inside of my home tanning bed.

To conserve water:

1. I drink only straight liquor.
2. I wash my dishes and clothes while in the shower.
3. I collect my spittle and drool in a paper cup for use when filling
    the company coffee maker.

To help reduce the size of the local landfill:

1. I throw away everything at least twice.
2. I recycle and re-use, as much as possible.
3. I stopped taking the trash out last year. Just ask the county
    health inspector!

I run my vehicle on:

1. A gas/ethanol mix.
2. Biodiesel.
3. The methane captured by a tube inserted into my butt.

To save electricity:

1. I turn off the lights when leaving a room.
2. I turn off the lights when entering a room.
3. I regularly short out the transformer in the alley to kill power
    to the entire neighborhood.

To become active in the green movement:

1. I joined Greenpeace.
2. I joined The World Wildlife Fund.
3. I watch TV programming produced by the World Wrestling Federation
    just because it has the same acronym as World Wildlife Fund.

Teachers are free to use their summer vacations for:

1. Bankruptcy proceedings

3. Very long electroshock therapy sessions

The most effective resource available to assist educators is:

1. A good shrink
2. The local Primal Screaming Club

I would take a teaching job because:

1. I want to make a difference (see #2)
2. I am incredibly naive and idealistic (see # 1)
3. The municipal Road Kill Collector's position was filled

After 30 years of teaching, I expect to be:
