49 here.

A lot beyond your control if you rent an apartment though...

[GabiandVi 34]

I was 42, but many of those things I have no control over. For example, bottled water. I don't have any other choice. When I'm home in the US, I never buy bottled water, but here, I have a water cooler in my home. Everyone does.

Bogus test.

What does this have to do with being green? Is feeling good about yourself make you green?

"People in all countries should have the same standard of living as people in the most wealthy countries."

I was wondering when someone would point that out.

Also, India has a very high score. I've lived in India. No way do I want to go back to that lifestyle

59 - on a par with India or Brazil - never eat meat, never drive, repair and recycle what I can, always carry bags with me for the store. I do eat tons of imported food though - love my Indian food. I am surprised it didn't ask about flying like the carbon footprint quiz does - since I usually fly long distance round trip twice a year that would have lowered my score.

Kind of a tricky question. Should all people have clean food and water, sanitation, education, jobs, etc. Yes. Should they all live in a huge suburban house with more bathrooms than people and have an SUV in the driveway? Hell to the N-O. Our planet simply cannot handle it.

PR, you live in a wealthy country and you don't have that. Neither do I. Equating life in a wealthy country to having a McMansion and SUV is silly. Most of us don't.

62! But then I am fortunate to live in a city where I am within walking distance of my work and the supermarket, where our supermarket promotes locally-grown and organic produce, where I do not need to know how to drive a car, and in a small building with a housemate who takes out all the recycling for me.

I don't buy bottle water - but then I am blessed to live in a country where the tap water is perfectly drinkable. I don't own a TV - but I have cable broadband so I can use my PC to watch DVDs and TV shows on. Our house is currently fitted with energy efficient appliances and double glazing - but that is because my housemate bought the house and was able to afford it; a landlord would never be so considerate!

What if I buy this car?
