It doesn't have to be Earth Day for you to help preserve the environment. You can start with yourself and in your own home, and after that, you can widen your scope of influence by volunteering at a local charitable organization!

There are many environmental causes that need people's attention. Every little bit helps, and if you spend time working on a particular cause, you will be able to make a difference. If you're looking for one but haven't made your decision yet, take the quiz below to find out which of these four organizations--People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Asia-Pacific (PETA), Bantay Kalikasan, Greenpeace Philippines, or World Wildlife Fund Philippines--would match your personality best.

1 .) Which of these fund-raising activities would you want to participate in?
  1. Wilderness survival camp
  2. Fashion show
  3. Beach cleanup
  4. Fun run
2 .) You and your friends just learned that loggers will be cutting down the trees in a forest at your province. What do you do?
  1. Stage a mass protest in the forest and bar the loggers from getting to the trees.
  2. Spread the word to the media and stage a protest in front of the loggers' office.
  3. Create a petition against the planned logging and make sure it gets to the pertinent local government unit afterward.
  4. Organize a cycling event that will have you stop right at the site of the intended logging.
3 .) How would you help the crusade against waste?
  1. You're already practicing waste reduction tactics at home, so you pitch your strategy to barangay officials.
  2. Join the slow food movement (buying food that's in season and available locally) and only buy products that have biodegradable packaging.
  3. Practice the three Rs--reduce, reuse, recycle--when it comes to dealing with your own waste at home.
  4. Practice waste segregation at home and join a cleanup event.
4 .) What do you think is the best way to support your cause?
  1. Taking action! You will do whatever it takes to make sure the cause gets the attention it deserves.
  2. Spreading awareness and making sure your voice gets heard where it counts.
  3. Donating. If you look at the bigger picture, providing the organization with more funds will also help it achieve more.
  4. Encouraging others to support the cause with you. There's strength in numbers.
5 .) How do you contribute to the cause on the Internet?
  1. You are an activist blogger who posts entries daily.
  2. You do research on the latest developments in environmental issues.
  3. You sign petitions relevant to the cause.
  4. You've joined several eco-forums and participate in communities.
6 .) What do you think would be your best asset as an environmental activist?
  1. Your determination. You are strong-willed, and you won't stop until you get things done.
  2. Your honesty. You're dedicated to sharing the truth about issues, so you make sure you check your facts thoroughly.
  3. Your flexibility. You're good at applying environmental initiatives to your daily life as well as when you volunteer for your organization.
  4. Your friendly personality. You are good at getting others to support the cause.
7 .) How about your greatest disadvantage?
  1. Your passion. While it is also an asset, you can overwhelm others because of your zeal.
  2. Your stubbornness. You have a hard time accepting defeat when it comes to the issues that matter to you.
  3. Your logical thinking. Sometimes, you dissuade yourself from doing something because you're already thinking of the negative things that can happen.
  4. Your dependence. You would rather work with others than start a project alone.
8 .) How would you encourage your workplace to become pro-environment?
  1. You would come up with conservation initiatives and discuss them with management.
  2. You would organize a pro-environment seminar to inform your officemates about relevant issues.
  3. You would start small and encourage your officemates to recycle paper and avoid being wasteful.
