  6. What Is Carbon Footprint? • Sum total of the impact that a person, organization, or product has on the ecology • Calculated as the amount of carbon dioxide or its equivalent greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere • This can be in any form starting from land clearance to fuel used for transportation to even the day to day consumption of electricity • Every person has a certain carbon footprint http://www.chandeliersforyou.net/what-is-carbon-footprint/

  7. Offsetting Your Carbon Footprint • An average American will release the equivalent of 20 tons of CO2 per year, and is the highest per capita output in the world • World average of around 3.8 tons per year, and you’ll get the picture • There are many countries where the average carbon footprint is less than 100 kg of CO2 per year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIhnDvb7Exo&feature=player_embedded

  8. How does this story relate to our community, our country, and /or the world?
