Want to know more about these containers?
So, why do we need all these containers? Well, different people
have different needs.
Try choosing the best drink container - or containers - for
these people:
Sophie, a mountain climber.
Gary, who makes a packed lunch for two infant children
everymorning.
Pete, who is going on a long train journey.
Anna, who likes a couple of cold drinks in the fridge.
Roger, who is a North Sea fisherman.
Marie, who is a keen long-distance cyclist.
Albert, an active pensioner who goes to the library by bus every
week.
Nicola, who wants a drink for school sports day.
Maggie, who wants a hundred drinks for a stall at the church
f&234;te.
Can you think of a time when you might need each of the five
different containers, yourself?

If you have more 'Nevers' your green rating is low, but at
least you’re on this website trying to learn more, and
before you have finished you will know more about the
planet’s problems. So don’t waste any more time, go to
the action pages.
If your answers are mainly 'Sometimes' you are becoming
greener. You are beginning to worry about the earth’s
resources and you will be able to encourage other kids to come to
the website, do something, join
a campaign for a better world.
If most of your answers are 'Always' then you are so green
you would be hard to spot in a tropical rainforest. You do
everything you can to save the earth. Tell us how we can all help
by going to the billboard and
