Curious about your sustainability impact as a consumer? YouSustain.com is an online tool that will help you determine your baseline sustainability factor (how sustainable am I compared to the average average person?). Once your baseline is established through a short survey that profiles your choices and practices in areas such as transportation, energy usage, and recycling, you can then enter a series of sustainability challenges designed to improve your sustainability awareness and ultimately improve your sustainability profile score.
YouSustain.com reports your baseline and weekly progress in terms of CO2 emissions saved (by weight) and the equivalent dollars saved tied to carbon emission reduction. It's a great snapshot of your personal impact on the environment and offers ongoing feedback as your practices change.
This editor was surprised to learn that he was 68% more sustainable than the average person. A series of challenges I selected should allow me to progress closer to the goal of being 100% sustainable.

YouSustain provides businesses and organizations the opportunity of determining the ongoing sustainability impact of the entire team. Personal sustainability profiles can be established with each staff member and a challenge can be launched to see who can be the most sustainable member over the course of a month, a year, or beyond. The savings, whether expressed in CO2 reduction or dollars saved, add up dramatically as awareness of sustainable practices grows.
