Want to know the explanations of the answers of the quiz?
Which activity has the highest environmental impact for a Western-European (read: Dutch) household? (1)
Correct: Consuming stuff, including meat
Research of CE Delft shows that buying stuff has the highest negative environmental impact for a Dutch household. Also in other Western-European countries it's estimated that consuming stuff has an enormous impact. That's due to the fact that producing stuff costs a lot of energy and resources. This production process also happens in countries that have less strict environmental laws.
Which is the most environmental friendly form of travel? (2)
Correct: Traveling by train
The train travels on electricity and in countries like The Netherlands it's even powered by wind energy. It's even better to go by cycle or walk of course.
Which is worst for the environment? (3)
Correct: Beef
Beef has per kilo consumed the highest carbon emissions. It also has a large water consumption.
Is it better to drive an electric car than a conventional car from an environmental perspective? (4)
Correct: Yes
When producing a car with an electric battery, a lot of carbon is emitted, more than with a conventional vehicle. But since the batteries can be recycled and the electric vehicles expect to last long, it is better for the environment.
