Exactly how green is your vacation? Take this quiz!

Even if you manage to do more than a staycation this summer, vacations just aren't what they used to be. Along with paying to check baggage and incredibly high gas prices comes a whole new level of social responsibility; seems like we can't even take a simple American road trip without considering all the environmental costs involved.

For those of you that are concerned with just how green your summer travels are, the Sierra Club has two easy quizzes to figure out where your vacation ranks on the green scale. The How Green is My Destination quiz looks at the environmental impact of where you are going and the How Green is my Getaway quiz analyzes just how your mode of travel -- bike, bus, airplane, etc. -- changes the greeness of your upcoming vacay.
