Carbon Footprint

http://www.nature.org/initiatives/climatechange/calculator/    I found it to be a good site for calculating carbon footprint, id say that even for younger kids. My carbon footprint was 21 ton of CO2. 3 ways i could lower my carbon footprint would be using less hot water, more energy efferent appliances/bulbs, use A/C less often. 3 things our schools can lower carbon footprint by encouraging more kids to ride the bus or carpool, use solar/wind energy, and more energy efferent bulbs. 3 things our community can do to lower carbon footprint is to encourage more people to recycle (or even start collecting recycling), encourage more people to walk/bike/carpool, solar/hydro/wind energy. How all the connects to the water plant is all the Carbon and other waste we use gets into our rivers and lakes. We have to start thinking of what affects this will have on future of our water supplies and the temperature of the earth.
