Hello everybody! I am new here. My name is Lucija and I am from Požega, a small and beautiful town in Croatia. I am sixteen years old and I attend the second grade of gymnasium. I have joined this project because of my English teacher. She is great and she encouraging us to learn English better. She teaches us how to cooperate with people all over the world and to respect and love you all J. We often talk about environmental problems, too and about different ways to help protect our planet.

I have found out that my footprint is almost the same as the footprint of the average person in Croatia. Thanks to the survey I have realised what I am doing wrong in everyday life. I’ll try to change some of my habits because I am spending too much electricity and water and I am not caring enough about recycling and composting. I am really glad that I can cooperate with you and I look forward to your comments. :)

Hello, my name is Kelsie Berry. I attend North Adams High School Seaman,OH. My Carbon Footprint told me that i mostly give off carbon at home, from heating an cooling during the seasons. Where do u mostly give off Carbon?? I would also like to know lots more ways to help reduce the amount of Carbon i give off every year.

Hi everyone! :)
My name is Ivona Kovacevic. As you can see, I’m from Croatia. I attend the gymnasium (with modern languages) in Pozega. That is an old school that was built by Jesuits in the ancient 1699.
I have joined this project and singed up to Einztein because I like the fact that here we can learn how to protect the Earth and at the same time meet a lot of students from all parts of the world!
I have realised that my total footprint (5450 kg) is a little bit lower than that of the average person in Croatia (5736 kg), but higher than the average footprint of people all around the world (3791), which is both good news and bad news.
I think I’ll start changing my lifestyle by trying to spend less electricity and water than usual.

I am really looking forward to your comments and messages! ^^

Hi! My name is…oh wait, you can see it at the beginning of my post. :P I attend North Adams High School. Im currently a sophomore. I recently took part in the ISCFC. I learned that the calculation of my carbon usage was lower than the average person in my area. I would like to know more about the Carbon Footprint Challenge.

Hello people of the WORLD! My name is Michael Hacker and recently paticipated in this so called Carbon Footprint Challenge. I’ve thought of a couple of ways to reduce the production of carbon…. Recycle and ride a bike SON!

Exactly how does the human immune system work?

Hey! I’m Veronica from North Adams High School. I did my carbon calculations last week and I was shocked to see my results. I didn’t realize how much carbon was realized by purchasing things. Any ideas how to reduce my average?

Hey everyone! I’m Karly from North Adams High School. When I did my carbon calculations I was surprised everything was lower than the average except my transportation. Wow, my transportation was extremely high compared to the average but it’s understandable because of sports I play and living out of the city, you have to drive at least 15min. to get to anything. Any ideas on how to reduce it? Just post if you do.

Hi,I’m Kathrine and i am a student from North Adams High school taking part in the Carbon Footprint challenge,I am amazed at how much just my household alone contributes to the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere.
