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 Carbon footprint_

ansonkong

From my footprint result is 8414 kgs of CO2 per year. I realized that the most one I need to focus is the home especially I used a lot of electricity on the air conditioner and fans. So that if I want to lower my footprint, I need to reduce the power consumption, such as I need to remember that when I left the house to remove the charger. My other parts also higher than the average,  I realized that I still need to do something like walk out by foot or bike more frequently. The result of my footprint was shock me, because I never thought the use of carbon a year that so much more than others. I need to pay more attention to this and solve this problem.

I think you pose very good ideas. I hadn't thought of unplugging all chargers and utilities before I left the house. It is a smart idea, and I think would be quite beneficial in the long run and consume less energy. Maybe try to remember to turn off the lights as you leave a room as well as the fans. I know sometimes I forget to turn those off, but doing those simple things will make a huge change.

Your solutions to the problems you have discovered in this activity are really good. Simple tasks like un-plugging a charger or turning off lights when they are not needed can go a long way. It's difficult to tell how much carbon you're using until you do an activity like this. It is concluded that everyone should be more mindful to their carbon use and cut back on simple things like leaving lights on and chargers in when they are not needed in order to create a more eco-friendly environment
