You're rushing to leave the house after watching Netflix. You're almost out the door when you realise the TV is still on. What do you do?
Run back inside and switch it off at the power outlet.
Leave it - I'm late and it will go on snooze mode in a few hours anyway.
You've just noticed a button is loose on your best shirt. You need to wear it in a few days, what do you do?
I'll buy a second hand shirt from an opportunity shop to replace it. It's cheap and supporting a charity.
Sew it myself or get it repaired. It's not that much effort to take it to the local clothing alteration shop.
I'll just buy a brand new one. I don't mind spending the extra money.
You're getting ready to go on a day trip with your friend. You've packed food and sunscreen, but will you bring a water bottle too?
I have one, so if I remember to fill it up and pack it, then I'll take it with me.
No. A water bottle wouldn't fit in my bag, and why would I need one when I can just buy a bottle from a cafe.
You've got a busy week ahead, and decide to get organised by making a list of all your responsibilities and tasks. Where do you decide to write your to-do list?
I love to write lists on a fresh notepad! Stationary gets me excited
I reuse old print-offs and write lists on the back. You don't need fancy paper for your daily tasks.
You're on your way home and remember you need to pick up something from the supermarket. You're at the register to pay and realise you forgot to bring a bag. What do you do?
I'll just carry my items. There's not that many, and I'm going straight home anyway.
Ask for a plastic bag. One plastic bag won't do that much damage, right?
You're at your favourite cafe, and they bring your iced latte out with a paper straw in it, instead of their normal plastic straws. What do you do?
Ask them if I could have a plastic straw instead. I really don't like how soggy paper straws go, so I'd much rather be drinking from something that doesn't disintegrate in my drinks
Happily accept the paper straw. It's about time more places started using them instead of plastic straws.
You're tidying up the house and decide to load the dishwasher. Once you've packed it, you notice it's only half full. What do you do next?
Run the half-load anyway. I'd prefer to just get it done now so I can go do something else.
Leave it. I'll wait until there's more dishes to fill it up completely, and then run a full load.
You've just done a load of washing, how do you dry it?
Straight through the electric dryer. It's low fuss and quick.
I'll hang it up on a clothes line. It's a bit of extra effort, but my clothes never shrink!
You're going to meet your friends at a cafe nearby. It'll take you 10 minutes to drive there, you could take the train, or it's a 30 minute walk. How do you decide to travel there?
I'll walk. It's great exercise, and it gives me a change to listen to my favourite music to get hyped up before I see my friends!
I'll take the train... but I'll drive to the station. I don't like walking for ages.
I'll just drive. It's such a short trip, how much could the fuel consumption actually be?
You're catching up with a friend, and they're telling you about their becoming a vegeterian. You're intrigued, now what's your response?
Sounds like something I would try! I don't eat that much meat anyway, I could definitely cut down my consumption.
I don't know how you do it. I'm a meat lover from way back - I have meat in almost every dish!
