Be nice to animals

I like to think I'm pretty up on 'green' issues, so when I came across this RSPCA quiz on animal welfare footprints I rather smugly thought I'd ace it.

I didn't do too badly - I don't eat them, for a start - but there were a number of points I'd completely overlooked. I don't know when I stopped, but it's years since I checked for the 'no animal testing' symbol on toiletries or cosmetics (my new Garnier handcream on my desk doesn't mention it, ominously). And it had never crossed my mind to check for the same symbol on cleaning products (although we do sometimes choose the Ecover range).

So I guess no matter how smug you are there's always something more you can do.
