Grist.org had a story about the National Geographic Greendex in yesterday's email letter so I went and checked it out. Solid information is always good to have, and being now 2 months along in the going green process, I was curious how we'd do comparatively. I used the calculator they provide and got a score of 68. This beats out all the countries they ranked so that makes me feel good in a way. In another way, knowing that we're only doing the easy, frugal things right now, it's a bit depressing to think that, on average, everybody else is doing less. On the third hand, the more room there is for improvement, the easier it is to make a significant change. So, what's your score?

My score was 50. Is that the middle? Is it terrible?
Bigger scores are better, but we all start where we are. Fortunately, making some big improvements is easy! Check www.YesMagazine.org for issue #45 - How your Family can get Carbon Free in 10 years is an excellent, short intro article.
