Hi my name is Cassandre, I live in Bayeux, Normandy in France. Our climate is temperate. It means that our summers are not very hot and our winters are not very cold either. France is a country which produces many carbon because it's one of the richest developed countries in the world. My total footprint is 10772, it's higher than the french average. My carbon emission are higher the average for home section because I heat my home with wood. I wasn't surprised because I have a big house, and I knew that to use some wood was not really ecological.

Hi, my name is Antonela, I live Croatia. I understand that you can not reduce your carbon emission for home section, but in what areas could you reduce it. I also heat my home with wood, but I would like to reduce my carbon emission somewhere else, do you have any ideas?

Hi Antonela, my name is Joshua, I live in California in the United States. Do you travel a lot? Because if you do, maybe changing your form of transportation can help lower your carbon footprint. According to the website where I calculated my carbon footprint, transportation was the second highest behind home appliances that contributed the most to my footprint. I know that using airplanes as transportation adds a lot to your carbon footprint. However, on a smaller scale, I would recommend maybe biking to school instead of taking a car to help lower your carbon footprint. If that isn’t convenient for you, then maybe look at your consumption of food. I know for my carbon footprint, there would be a big difference in my Carbon footprint if I lowered my consumption of meet. I hope this helps you!

Hello Antonela, I'm Kristy and I live in Florida in the United States. I was just curious about something. How often is your home heated? How many months in a year? If you live in an area with a temperate climate then, I assume, not much indoor heating is needed. I also agree with Joshua, maybe you can lower your footprint though travel. The question then is do you live in the city region in Normandy France? You can possible take more public forms of transportation or maybe carpool (riding with friends and family). The biking idea is another great idea, Joshua.

Hello! I am a high school student in Laugarvatn, ICELAND. In Iceland we have a lot of geothermal energy or hot water that comes from the ground, that we use to heat up our houses and for that we are lucky. It's very cold here in the winter and snowy and the summers are also not that hot compared to other scandinavian countries like Denmark or Sweden. My score was very low compered to average icelander. Mine was 3315 kg of CO2 but the average in my country is 7883 kg CO2 per year! It's probably because we recycle alot. But in the moment there is a lot of CO2 coming from our volcano Holuhraun so the pollution is terrible in some places. People were not allowed to go outside for couple of days in a small village here in Iceland! The had to close their windows and turn up the heat in their houses. There have been too many volcano eruptions in the past years for my opinion. It just causes a lot of unnecessary problems.
