Carbon Footprint

1. http://www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx
2. I didnt really like it because it was very specific and i would not suggest it for younger children.
3. My footprint is 9.09 metric tons of CO2
4. a. I will not use as much electricity in the household.
    b. We could not use as many lights and not turn the heat on until needed.
    c. The community could work together and not use the street lights when its light out.
5. My project is finding new bus choices. By buying new buses that are better on gas or even electric would help the environment. School buses give off a lot of carbon dioxide. This is not helping the environment at all. People could help this by walking to school. They could also ride their bike to school. The other problem is that the children on the bus are the ones inhailing most of the carbon dioxide. Overall we need new buses that are better for the environment.
