Earth Day: The Most (and Least) Environmentally-Conscious States

How environmentally-conscious would you say you are?

For some people, it depends, they’d give themselves an EIGHT when they’re combing through the trash, separating out bottles and cans.  And a TWO at all other times.

A survey asked 5,000 Americans, including residents of every state, to rate themselves on how “eco-friendly” they are, on a scale of 0 to 10.

The people in New Mexico rated themselves the best, with an average score of 5.7.  Yes, a 5.7 out of 10 was the highest.  At least people were being honest.

Residents from California are the second-most environmentally-conscious, followed by people in Oregon, Delaware, Massachusetts, Vermont, Washington, Florida, Maryland, and Rhode Island.

People in South Carolina admitted to being the worst, with an average score of just 3.9.  Tennessee is the second-lowest, followed by Arizona, Ohio, and Alabama.
