“Retail BC and Ipsos Reid found… 49% of respondents said their shopping decisions are guided more this year that last by retailer’s action to protect the environment.” – Greening a Business Can Blacken the Bottom Line by Glen Korstrom
I’ve been hearing a lot about carbon footprints and after reading the above article in Business in Vancouver’s “The Green Edition” on sustainability, I decided to put my lifestyle to the test!
I did the above test at www.nature.org. It was rumored to be one of the best. I found it informative both during the test and following.
Wired’s test was short and disappointing. Wired scored me as “Deep Green”. I was feeling pretty happy about that. I also realized that if I ate local food more often and less meat, I’d be even farther away from their “Fair-weather Ecofriend” category than I am now.
Locally? Does that include Australian Shiraz?
