Aziz T-Italy, May 14, 2013

Hi guys! My name is Aziz and i think that you should greatly reduce CO2 emissions to lower the environmental impact .There are various solutions as to use fluorescent bulbs or reduce the garbage for week and maybe in the future to use cleaner forms of energy such as buying solar panels.

    I agree! The fluorescent bulbs and garbage reduction are easy and inexpensive ways to reduce CO2 emissions. However solar panels and other forms of renewable energy sources are expensive. I wish there was a way to create renewable energy sources that are easily accessible and inexpensive, this would certainly encourage less CO2 emissions across the globe.

    I live in the United States and my carbon footprint is a lot smaller then yours. I guess that would be because I don't really drive.

francesca francy, May 14, 2013

Hi!
My name is Francesca; I live in a small village in the north of Italy.
This village and the towns nearby are beautiful because they are small and clean. we don’t have the problem of air pollution and the quality of life is good.
anyway I was impressed by my carbon food print in HOME and TRASPORTATION categories, Maybe because my village is far from other towns and I need to use my car or bus to go shopping or school; another important pollutant is heating in winter as my village is in the mountain.
My carbon footprint is the following:
TRASPORTATION: 1735 kg
HOME: 3225 kg
FOOD: 3634 kg
PUNCHASE: 549 kg
TOTAL: 9161 kg

    Hey Francesca! Im Josh! Your Carbon footprint is impressive and alot lower then mine. Mine is nearly 15,000, and surprisingly to you, this is low for my area which is near Philadelphia in Pennsylvania in the United States of America. I have to take a bus to school everyday, too and from, and also i use alot of energy at home. I wish i lived in a small little village with cleaness, but i live in a town that is only semiclean. Best of luck with your project and learning about CO2 emmisions. Peace!

    Hi, i'm raffaele l, I live in a north of italy, my carbon footprint is 6844 kg of CO, per year compared an average of 8181 kg for italy, and 3791 kg (=8358 lb) worldwide. My highest category was my home at 2934 kg.To reduce my level of CO I could change the light bulbs putting energy-saving ones or install solar panels, but at the moment it is very expensive to install them. My other categories are:transportation is 1151, food is 1569, purchases is 1190.

Rebecca Godin, May 13, 2013

Hi, my name is Rebecca and my total carbon footprint is 11560 kg. The average footprint in Ontario is 12000 kg. I am under the average, transportation was my highest out of all the four categories, 5645 kg. For home/energy 3592 kg, food 1622 kg and 601 kg for purchases. I was surprised about the amount CO2 released from transportation, but I live further away from the school.

Frank Dadparvar, May 13, 2013

Hello my name is Frank and I live in Philadelphia. This project was very interesting because I did not know that people could contaminate so much. Different countries contaminate more or less depending but in my opinion the country that contaminates the most is America. My biggest contamination problem provoked by me is transportation. I am from another country so when I travel we use a lot of gas and they are very long trips. During the next years I will not contaminate as much because I won’t travel.

    Hi Frank, don't worry about transportation because I have the same problem. It is a good thing you won't travel as much, since that will lower that amount of gas you use.
  • erika wang erika wang May 14, 2013
    Hey Frank, I agree with you. I also travel a lot. I usually fly international flights and if I am not flying I take a lot of road trips to Los Angeles. Good to know your trying to travel less to reduce c02!

The definition of a carbon footprint how much carbon dioxide is let out by a person or group of people from the consumption of fossil fuels.

Billy- Bob Johns, May 13, 2013

I found that my transportation is very high due to the fact that I travel 50km to school in my pick up truck. I also found that around my house is very high does anyone have any suggestions?

    For one thing you can get a bicycle for transportation. And for your house you can turn off the lights when you are not using them, as well as turning of the water when not in use.
  • Rebecca Godin Rebecca Godin May 13, 2013
    Maybe use different types of electric bulbs that are more energy efficient and make sure not to forget to turn of the lights at your home.
