Your carbon footprint

Now lets
see what
your
carbon
footprint
is....

Task 1
In your envelope you have 15
pieces of paper (worlds).
As you move around the room you
will either pick up or put back
worlds
(These will be in the centre of the
room)
Then after you have moved all the
way around the room come back to
your seat and count the pieces of
paper you have collected.

So what is your carbon footprint?

How many pictures did you end
up with?
You have a high carbon footprint,
21-30: you are having a large impact on
the environment.

You have a average carbon footprint, you

10-20: are having an average impact on the
environment.

0-9: You have a low carbon footprint, you are having a low
impact on the environment.

But what does this mean...

We can use your carbon footprint as a measure of the
impact that you are having on the environment.

How do you
feel about
your carbon
footprint?

Red hat

Ok so we know
what our carbon
footprint is... but
what can we do
about it?
Lets look at my
carbon footprint
and the ways I can
try and reduce it

My Carbon footprint
Reduce the
amount I use my
car.
Take the train
to school

Reduce my CO2
emissions.
This will reduce the
amount of greenhouse
gasses, which in turn
reduces global warming.

Using your foot

outline List five ways
to reduce your
carbon footprint.
Explain how each
step you decide to
take will help reduce
your carbon
footprint.
