https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26 almost everyone uses too much carbon en-us 2018-02-09 18:44:27 UTC 2026-01-28 08:55:09 UTC hello@padlet.com marin_jones https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/230751034 My footprint compared to the two hypothetical others, mine is big. But to the world my footprint is average. The reason that my footprint is big compared to the two others is because the first one is a vegetarian and does not spend a lot on beauty products. Also they keep their house slightly warm in the summer and cool in the winter.
The second family however only uses 35% of their carbon emission because the are vegetarian and leave their house cold in the winter and warm in the summer they only use a wood stove. Also never wastes anything and does not eat out and uses public transportation. They are different than me because I eat out every Friday and that is it but i also eat meat at some meals and I keep my house warm in the winter and cold in the summer. ]]> 2018-02-12 18:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/230751034 marin_jones https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/230761528 2018-02-12 18:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/230761528 marin_jones https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/230765565 3.) Another way to make your footprint is to reduce the amount of trash you throw out that goes into landfills. The way this helps is that
4.)Also eat less meat because meat factories put a lot of carbon into the air for example lamb consumed puts 39.2 kilograms of carbon into the atmosphere.]]> 2018-02-12 18:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/230765565 marin_jones https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/231253443 2018-02-13 19:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/231253443 marin_jones https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/231267212 My footprint is 117% of the worlds carbon and that is not good and we can do better.]]> 2018-02-13 20:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/231267212 marin_jones https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/231647386 My new footprint is based on what I could do better like I turned off my appliances and I went from a 117% to a 60% and that seems pretty good and now I know what I have to do to reduce my carbon footprint.]]> 2018-02-14 18:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/231647386 marin_jones https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/231652001 My first way to reduce is to get solar panels this is so important because when you get solar panels you can almost eliminate the electricity and it will reduce the amount of gas that comes into the atmosphere. I found this information at cotap.org and the location address is https://cotap.org/reduce-carbon-footprint/#home At this website it talks about what to do to reduce your footprint and it explains how getting solar panels can help reduce. Another good thing about this is that you could eliminate your whole electricity bill. That could be great for saving money.]]> 2018-02-14 18:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/231652001 marin_jones https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/231657495 My second way is to turn off you lights and appliances and this is so important because when you turn off your lights you also turn off the electricity that is coming to your home. And if you do that then all of the carbon that goes up into the atmosphere will be gone for as long as you keep it off. I found this information at the same place as the first way and that is at cotap.org and the location address is https://cotap.org/reduce-carbon-footprint/#home At this website it explains what light bulbs to use and  when to turn off your lights off.  The reason that I chose this website is because I agree with what it is saying. For example I agree with the way to reduce and help the enviroment is to turn off your lights.  ]]> 2018-02-14 18:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/231657495 marin_jones https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/231660978 The third way that I said to reduce is the amount of waste that you put in landfills. This is so important because when the waste stays in the ground for too long then the carbon gets into the soil. I found this information at recycling-guide.org and the location address is at http://www.recycling-guide.org.uk/importance.html At this website is explains why we should reduce the waste. It also explains that this will reduce polution also and another thing that will be reduced is the greenhouse gasses ]]> 2018-02-14 18:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/231660978 marin_jones https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/233098119 The fourth way that I said to reduce is to eat less meat the reason that this is so important is because meat industries produce way too much carbon and that is really bad for the environment. I found this information at naspa.org and the location address is https://www.naspa.org/constituent-groups/posts/my-carbon-footprint At this website it explains what contributes to your carbon footprint and what you have to do to help your footprint. I chose this website because it tells the truth and most of it I agree with.]]> 2018-02-20 01:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/233098119 marin_jones https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/233446330 The fifth way that I said to reduce is to reduce air travel. This is so important because airplanes release carbon when they  go up in  the air. When this happens they leave a white streak in the sky that is just greenhouse gases. I found this information is at davidsuzuki.org and the location address is https://davidsuzuki.org/what-you-can-do/air-travel-climate-change/ At this website it explains how the airplanes leave carbon in the sky when  they fly. For example the white streaks that are left in the sky are greenhouse gases. ]]> 2018-02-20 18:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/233446330 marin_jones https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/233447366 The sixth way that I said to reduce your carbon footprint is to take longer trips to a vacation or just decide to go somewhere that you can drive to. This is so important because just like the fifth way airplanes  leave greenhouse gases and if you don't go on an airplane then  that will be one less person that will be taken on  an airplane. Also if everyone goes on one less airplane rides then they should they that would be a lot of plane rides that would be eliminated. The place that I found this information is at cotap.org and the location address is https://cotap.org/reduce-carbon-footprint/#air At this website it explains how and why you should't travel by plane. ]]> 2018-02-20 18:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/marin_jones/rpuspn6ayi26/wish/233447366
