We are targeting social media outlets as well as people who are passionate about the green space. We would like the characters to have a broad sense of appeal and amuse the takers of this online quiz.
We would like the characters to have a comical/bubbly look and feel. An example of the type of look and feel we are looking for is something like:

4. Green Character (ie. Public Transportation/Bikes, CFL light bulbs, Reusable bags, eats only organic food, has own garden)
