My Carbon Footprint varies with the Transportation and my Purchases. For Transportation, I use 1503 kg CO2. Home and Food is a lot higher. 6,027 kg is my Home usage and Food is a whopping 8,496 kg. As well as the Transportation, my purchases use 1,061 kg of CO2

i believe that if we were to all switch to hydro electricity, we could dramatically decrease our carbon footprints.

Hey my name is Ahmed Weheiba I go to the american international school of egypt. I am in 9th grade. I was asked to figure out my carbon foot print using a special cite online. this was my first step to get here.
I though that my country was okay with there Carbon foot print scores, but then i realized that it was different when i first got to know my score. i felt ashamed that it was too high were I can influence my country negatively. I personally think that what we are all doing now to save earth is the first step throw success. My country foot print is low were it stood at 4000 to 5000. this was opposite than mine were it came at 20000+. This was when I first realized i had to stop that bad effect on earth. My highest were purchases and food. i know i can decrease both easily. I can simply start using the recyclable bags instead of the plastic ones. On the other hand I can use the recycle on the food i eat daily. i can also turn into a vegetarian were i can decrease the meat I eat daily. Then I will be using bigger plastic bags were they last longer instead of getting small ones that are used every 6 hour a day. Thanks :))))

Hi my name is Adham Zedan and I’m from Cairo, Egypt. I go to the American International School in Egypt I’m in 9th grade my carbon footprint was very high it was higher than an average egyptian citizen would have. I felt sorry for how much carbon dioxide i release to my beloved Earth. The most thing i use is electricity i let out a lot of energy only in my home. In home i use a lot of electricity to get light and charge my laptop, phone, etc. I use electricity also to heat my food and to cool my food in the fridge also. I have a lot of light bulbs maybe more than 200 in home because we need light to see each other and know our way to walk, of course i use this everyday in my life, but Im not aware how it hurts my planet.When i completed the whole survey the 50 questions i realized how im not an average egyptian citizen at all im way higher in releasing Carbon Dioxide. I will close all my lights after i leave from home i will try to close the lights whenever im not using them. I will be more careful with the water and when im brushing my teeth i will close them until i want to use it. I will also ride a public bus to save gasoline and will be more careful in my community and to save the planet. Thank You

Hey, my name is Nadia Shaheen; I live in Cairo, Egypt. I’m a ninth grader at The American International School of Egypt. After completing the carbon footprint survey, I realized my footprint was much higher than my countries’ average footprint. I noticed how much this affects my country only after doing this, I think I produce a lot alone because I go to school by car using a lot of gas daily, I order from outside almost twice every week and this uses electricity, people, and huge machines working 24 hours to make the food. I also use a lot of electricity in my house including my laptop, that I only turn off while I’m sleeping and the lights that are also rarely turned off. This makes me feel that these improvements can be done right at my house. I learned that every single person can change only a bit in their lives and this whole world will change, and yes it is a fact, EVERY SINGLE PERSON CAN CHANGE THE WORLD ALONE!
Stuff that we can do to reduce our CO2 production yearly:
• Take a bus or car pool or even walk.
• Recycle and/or reuse plastic and paper bags.
• Turn off lights when not used.
• Turn off AC if not needed.
• Order once from outside rather than twice.
• Try to purchase only the needed stuff and not stuff that you won’t use or will use only once.
• Eat organic, rather than meat.
If we try these changes I’m sure we will make a difference. :)

I agree, a person alone can change the world, but it takes will power to keep going and make these changes in your life. If you have no will power you can end up eating fast food twice or three times a week, cause you were weaker than its delicious taste. These are all great Ideas but once you start you cant give up.

We could reduce the amount of devices that constantly use our energy by getting rid of the ones that are not nessary like a radio that isn’t used much or a TV thats plugged on but, is barley used.

People have suggested that the world, or the US more specifically, need more organic farms. Organic food is irrefutably more healthy for the consumer however, the farmer is losing profit and has to use more land to produce the same net yield because, without pesticides many crops are lost. On top of that, at the moment there are less organic farms than not. If one wishes to eat organic they are probably going to be eating food that has been shipped across the country, unless they push to eat locally grow foods. This may not be so much about hunger as much as, yes, the carbon footprint aspect of it. To reduce ones carbon footprint and not necessarily solve hunger, but be healthier, looking for locally grown food will take a step in the right direction.
