Student Footprints

Students from around the world calculated their class mean and standard deviations for their footprints and posted them on our world map.

Do you see differences across the globe? If so, why do you think those differences exist?

Did you use the calculator to try to reduce your footprint down to the average from a citizen of another country? What changes would you have to make to lower your footprint in this way? Are you going to try and take some of these actions in your daily life?

My Foot Print - Louis Vicat - France

loicl

If I watch my result, I see the average Co2 production in my country ( 9 4471 kg)  is higher than my personal production, and I’m in average of my group (7020 kg), which is of 7030 Kg.
My biggest source of CO2 emission is with Food, 3263 Kg of Co2, because I eat meat everyday and my lowest, 422 kg of Co2, is with purchase because I don’t buy lot of clothes and electronic materiel.

My home consumption is low because, 718 kg of Co2, I live in a little apartment, so I .
My transportation is in average, 2363 kg of CO2; because I take train and I have no car.

To conclude, I should eat less meat to reduce my foot print impact I can replace this by pasta.

I would like explain my footprint result with a short explanation of different parts of my 9718kg of CO2 per year, and I try to find solution for reduce my carbon footprint:
I begin with a long comparison between my result, France’s results and classroom’s results:
-First regarding transportation my results are 2 twice higher than France (I 4559, France 2158). The average of my classroom is 2434.
-Next my home consumption is a little bit lower than France results 2643 to my results 2206 kg of CO2 per year and my working group is to 1672 kg
-In terms of food I’m once more under my country consumption (3244 kg of CO2) I produce 2455 kg and my classroom is 2726 kg
-Finally my purchases are 498kg of CO2, this is about 3 times lower than the France consumption 1426 kg and my section is 371.
The solutions to reduce my release of CO2 are do car pooling for the transportation ; in my family we can heat less and  use warm clothes like sweaters, I can only eat meat twice a  week because the animals need a lot of grass so CO2 release increases, and to finish I can buy less new clothes.

I.S.C.F.C Challenge

   After do the I.S.C.F.C Challenge, I show you my results, compared to an average of the results of people who live in my region:

Total: 5806 kg CO2 per year
Total region: 9471 kg CO2 per year

All of my results are lower than the results of my region.

   -First of all, I watch my transportation results. I release 1 590 kg of CO2 per year. I move more often by bus or do carpooling.
   -Secondly, regarding my consumption results at home. I live in a little flat, so my release is small. I don’t have a washing machine, air conditioning or dishwasher. My consumption in this field is about three times less important than the average consumption of French people.
   -Then, in terms of food results. As I don’t know my consumption of calories, I use the national average consumption for my result. But, my meat, fruit or vegetable consumption is the real. So, this result is approximate. I release 3 030 kg and I notice it’s about the same as my region: 3 244kg.
   -To finish, I see my purchases’ results. I live alone, so I don’t make a lot of waste. I am c areful to this and I make sorting. Further, when I do my shopping, I try to buy products without a lot of packaging. So, I produce 264kg, it’s about six times less important than my region: 1 426kg.

   In conclusion, my general consumption is much lower than my region. I produce in total 5 806kg of CO2 per year where as the consumption of French people is 9 471kg of CO2 per year. It’s nearly twice. The average of the results of my classroom people is 7 335kg. This is again more than my personal consumption.
