Here's what a few teachers have said about the quiz:

“I think students sometimes think too small. They have no clue to the various options that are out there! Heck, I had no idea of such a range of ‘green’ jobs available. It was an eye opener for sure.” -- Dr. Vivian Smith, secondary science teacher, Jackson, Mississippi

“Scouts and leaders were surprised with the amount and diversity of green jobs available to them and most were pleased, if not surprised, by the career choice given them.” -- Deb Zolynsky, secondary science teacher, Traverse City, Michigan
