You might be surprised to discover how much you don&#8217;t know about climate change &#8212; but that&#8217;s OK! After each question, you learn the correct answer and what the foundation&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clintonfoundation.org\/what-we-do\/clinton-climate-initiative\/\">Clinton Climate Initiative<\/a> is doing to help, whether it&#8217;s funding building retrofit projects or supporting research on carbon-neutral transportation technologies.<\/p>\n<p>        You can help the Clinton Climate Initiative&#8217;s work simply by taking<br \/>\nthis quiz: Every person who takes the quiz will be honored with a $2<br \/>\ndonation on his\/her behalf to purchase solar flashlights for Haitians<br \/>\nwithout access to electricity. The Foundation&#8217;s goal is to get 100,000<br \/>\npeople to take the quiz so it can deliver 200,000 energy-saving<br \/>\nflashlights.<\/p>\n<p>The climate quiz is only step one in the Clinton Foundation&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clintonfoundation.org\/earthday\/index.php\">Take Initiative on Earth Day campaign<\/a>.<br \/>\nAfter taking the quiz, you can brush up on climate change issues or<br \/>\nsearch for a local Clinton Foundation volunteer project, such as<br \/>\nharvesting from an urban farm in Chicago or repairing and replanting<br \/>\nthe PS 76 Garden in New York. On Thursday, you can hear from Bill<br \/>\nClinton himself and ask him your burning questions about climate change<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.clintonfoundation.org\/earthday\/participateintheforum.php\">during an online forum<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Challenge your friends, coworkers and family to see who can score the<br \/>\nhighest on the quiz. I scored a six out of 10.
