Tally your numbers and see which level of environmentalist you are…
0 Points: Earth Hater. You wish the earth had gone the way of the dinosaurs long ago, that way you wouldn’t be moping across this dreary craphole today.
1-15 Points: Earth Friend. You’re acquainted with the environmental movement; maybe you’ve even had a meal with a tree. Why not get to know Gaia a little better?
16-30 Points: Hot Earthy Lover. Earth? Smile… yeah, you know her! You take real good care of Earth. Bow chicka wow-wow!
31-45 Points: Die-Hard Earth Activist. You are the best friend of the planet who wouldn’t bail it out of jail but would rather be alongside it in the jail cell, muttering, “I didn’t know how old those sequoias were.”
46+ Points: Eco Hippie Granola Hemp Earth Warrior. You eat, breathe and sleep Mama Earth. When you wake up your first thought is how to get the earth-killing politicians and big companies to collapse, and your last thought before you go to sleep in your green, carbon-footprint-free treehouse is, “Mmm… Earth…”
