I'm Claire, an English teacher in a small sacondary school in Valencia, Spain. This is also our first time. We have found the results of the carbon footprint challenge very interesting, I, for one, was shocked at my very high score.
In our area, which is quite rural, the lack of a good public transport system means we use the car too much and of course airplane travel is so environmentally unfriendly.
We are really interested in encouraging our school as a whole to become more environmentally aware. What do your schools do?

Hi Claire, I am Maria from Greece. Can you share with me your students mean total footprint as well as their mean home, purchases, food and transport carbon footprints so that we can make a comparison between your students and mine?

Hi Maria, my students' average is 6962, which is pretty much the same as the Spanish average. Transport was 2329, Home 2172, food 2217 and finally Purchases 240. Like Greece we have a mild climate, so we don't need air conditioning, much heating or to machine dry our clothes. Were your students similar with respect to food? The advantages of the mediterranean diet!

Hi Claire !  My students food carbon footprint is the same as yours. Purchases are about the same, Transport is half of yours but home carbon footprint is double than yours. We leave in the North of Greece, so we probably need more fuel than you... In which part of Spain do you leave?

If you go to the "Compare" link on the ISCFC website, you can see the data for every school that has sent us their carbon footprint calculations.

Yeah Mine was 8380 for my carbon footprint
