Questions to consider: 1. What do you think the term “carbon footprint” means? 2. Do you think it is desirable to have a big one or a small one? Why? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGRlo87oAUg Questions to consider:

Definition: the measured amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted through combustion fossil fuels. The footprint is the amount of carbon-based natural resources consumed by person, company, community, country over a time period On a large scale, it is expressed in tons while for an individual/household, it is calculated in pounds CO2 & greenhouse gases are believed to be the cause of climate change & global warming. Carbon Footprint

Reducing Carbon Footprints 3. List ways you could decrease your carbon footprint. Share & discuss 4. Of your list (# 4), which of these options do you think most people would be willing to do? Consider: replace 3 light bulbs with compact fluorescents saves 300 pounds; increase the thermostat from 68 to 70 (2,000 pounds); take shorter showers (350 pounds), turn off electricity not being used (1000 pounds); install solar panels http://www.howcast.com/videos/365-How-to-Reduce-Your- Carbon-Footprint Reducing Carbon Footprints
