  4. Activity 3: Energy use and CO2 emissions • Your University uses 13,000 MW of electricity each year • Assuming this is all from grid-based electricity, how much CO2 does this release (weight) • What is the volume of this? • How many hot air balloons will this fill?

  5. Activity 4: Your own carbon footprint • Calculate your total carbon footprint for the past 12 months using the following web tool: www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx. • How des this compare to the UK average? • How does this compare to the average of other countries? • What is the greatest contribution to your carbon footprint? • How can you reduce your carbon footprint? • Do you think your carbon footprint has increased or decreased since being at University?
