All about us ●We all have jobs ●We are all college students ●Early 20s/30s ●We all commute to work/class

Lena Cool Climate Network ●3 adults, 1 teenager ●Less than 2 miles from work/school ●300 KwH/m (3600 KwH/y) ●5.5 CO2 personal ●21.8 CO2 household ●2 adults ●Around 15 miles to work/school ●Eat out often (5+ times a week) ●19.35 CO2 personal ●38.7 CO2 household Will

Gina’s FootPrint ★ Family of five 2 Adults 3 Children ★ Single family home ★ 2 Mid size vehicles/ Commuting ★ Electricity usage 560 KwH a month/ 6729 KwH/year ★ Transportation 22.6 total 53.7 tons CO 2/year ★ Water ’s of gallons per year

Fernando’s footprint -My energy usage for household terms per month kWh per month mile commute daily at ~25mp

Bay Area GHG Nine Counties Agriculture Transportation Size of County

California ●Energy expenditure per person/month ●Caifornians spend almost $3000 a month on energy ●Most of their money is spent on transportation ●Housing only amounts for about $500

USA Greenhouse Gases

Global Greenhouse gases ●Co2 65% from (industrial and fossil fuels) ●China produces 28% of emissions ●US Produces 16%

Comparison ●Gina is the worst by household ●Will is the worst by person, but about equal to the US as a whole ●Gina and Fern come in below average when compared to California ●Lena produces the least CO2 out of everyone, and less than average for California and the US

14. Changes (What can be done) You must take the first step Make good habits Place limitations on the usage of cars,water,electricity Have the environment in mind

●Ride bicycles when travelling short distances <10 miles ●Bring reusable bags to the grocery store to cut down on plastic bags used ●Carpool/take public transportation to work/school ●Install energy efficient items in homes like energystar appliances, double paned windows, LED light bulbs ●Install low flow toilets/showerheads ●Eat locally grown food when possible What we can do

We have become so dependant on resources that it has gotten to a point that we are wasting more than we actually need. A little bit of effort can go a long way. If all of us do small things like riding a bicycle or being more conscious about how we affect the environment, we can make the world a better place to live. 17. Summary Conclusions
