CALCULATING CARBON FOOTPRINT

We calculated our carbon footprint.

We discussed the results and thought how can we reduce these. These are some tips to reduce carbon footprint:

1. Save energy at home. Much of our electricity and heat are powered by coal, oil and gas.

2. Change your home's source of energy.

3. Walk, bike or take public transport.

4. Switch to an electric vehicle.

5. Consider your travel.

6. Reduce, reuse, repair and recycle.

7. Eat more vegetables.

8. Throw away less food.

Students calculated their personal carbon footprint by analyzing their energy consumption, transportation habits, and diet choices. Using electricity bills, they determined annual energy use per family member and estimated the corresponding CO₂ emissions. They evaluated their daily transportation methods and their environmental impact, as well as the emissions associated with their dietary choices. After calculating their individual carbon footprint, each student proposed three small, practical solutions to reduce their impact, fostering awareness and responsibility for a more sustainable future.

Calculating the CO₂ Footprint and Solutions for a Sustainable Future.
Each student brought an electricity bill from home and calculated the annual energy consumption per family member. Based on this consumption, they estimated the CO₂ emissions generated by the use of electricity, using specific coefficients for the national energy mix. The students analyzed the ways in which they travel (public transport, personal car, bicycle, walking) and estimated the CO₂ emissions corresponding to each option, comparing their impact on the environment. The students evaluated the type of diet they follow (omnivorous, vegetarian, vegan) and analyzed the CO₂ emissions associated with the production and transportation of the food consumed. They thus discovered that certain food choices can have a significant impact on the environment. Based on the information collected, each student calculated their personal carbon footprint, using a specialized calculator or simple conversion formulas. This step helped them better understand their individual contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions. After analyzing their carbon footprint, each student identified three small, feasible solutions to reduce their environmental impact.
