The organisation, which gives free, confidential advice to businesses to help them improve their environmental performance, is offering premiership football tickets as prizes in the quiz.
The quiz has 21 questions that will test knowledge of football and the environment. Questions in the first half are easy – if you know the England shirt number Michael Owen normally wears and the most environmentally friendly way to get your beer home from the supermarket you’ll do well.
The second half gets more difficult, requiring knowledge of the seating capacity of Estadio da Luz and also environmental legislation. Players who answer 11 of the 21 questions correctly will be entered into a draw to see the premiership team of their choice.

Lisa Benson from Envirowise explained: “'Giving Waste the Red Card' is our way of highlighting how simple it is to make savings in a company by improving on your environmental performance. The questions are designed to get you thinking about how much waste is produced. They are all related to football as we prepare to do well at Euro 2004 and you may be surprised by the answers.”
Envirowise is urging potential quiz contestants to get fit for the challenge by accessing the range of free publications Envirowise provides to UK businesses wanting to improve their bottom line by minimising waste.
