What’s Your Greenage?

Ever wonder how green you are? A new non-profit organization has just launched an initiative that helps you find out. It’s sort of like calorie-counting for the environment. Creative Citizen helps you track your “greenage” based on five criteria: water, electricity, waste, emissions, and money. Greenage is determined by the creative solutions that you’ve implemented in your life or submitted to the community. The more you do, the more it grows. Some Creative Solutions have larger effects, so your Greenage increases more when you use them.

The genius behind this idea is that members of the Creative Citizen community share ideas about improving their green scores, like eating less meat, using canvas bags for grocery shopping, reusing water bottles, using LED light bulbs, etc. Here’s a brief tutorial of Creative Citizen:
