Give yourself 1 point for each "a" answer, 3 for each "b", 5 for
each "c", and 10 for each "d".
10-20: Youre no saint (in this society we are all to some degree
gluttonous), but youre minimizing your impact on the environment.
21-40: Your intentions are clearly good, but still
41-60: So you went from Corolla to Camry to Lexus, from Motel 6 to
Marriott to Ritz-Carlton, from Sears to L.L. Bean, to Barneys. Now what? Its a long,
slippery slope.
61-100: Even your contributions to the World Wildlife Federation will
not offset the spreading effects of your gluttony.
