To help consumers further separate fact from fiction this Earth Day, Cotton Incorporated has created an interactive quiz, “Do You Know Green?” on its two popular websites, www.MysteryFabric.com and www.TheFabricOfOurLives.com. 

There aren’t too many questions annoyingly promoting their brand and it is a great quiz to send “greenie newbies” to educate them a bit further. I even ended up using the quiz as a game to teach my children a few things.

The quiz takes users through a series of true and false statements that challenges them on topics such as:
·         Is it more energy friendly to cool down your car with the air conditioner or by rolling down the         windows?
·         Is it better for the environment to wash dishes in the dishwasher or by hand?
·         Do electronics use energy even when they are turned off?

It answers the question that evolved from “how can I go green” to “what can I do that will really help the environment?”

In celebration of Earth Day be sure to send the quiz to those you think would benefit from it.
