2. What is a Carbon Footprint?
A Carbon Footprint is the measure given to the amount of green house gases produced by burning fossil fuels, measured in units of carbon dioxide. Like walking on a soft sandy beach everyone leaves a footprint. Its like that but a lot more harmful for the environment! The bigger the carbon footprint the worse for the earth.

3. How can we lower our carbon footprint?
You can plant a tree, or a few trees. Trees breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen.
You could use energy saving light-bulbs because they last longer and are greener.
You can turn off your computer and monitor when your not using it.
You could lower your hot water heater to 120° F.
