    This total is your “carbon footprint” in the number of pounds of carbon dioxide per year. The lower the
    number, the fewer greenhouse gasses are emitted into the atmosphere.
    Review your choices in the survey. What changes can you make in your life to reduce your carbon
    footprint? Try to make some of these changes in the next week. Use the space below to engineer a plan
    to reduce your carbon footprint.
    I could reduce my carbon footprint by eating more vegetables and less meat. I could also dry my
    clothes rather than dry them and unplug electronics when not in use.

    Things I will turn off:


    I will turn off the TV and other appliances if not in use and I will make sure not to use often my
    computer, especially if what I am doing is not important.
    How I will get to school:

    I will walk to school every day like the one I always do and in that, way I can save more money.
    What I will eat:
    I will avoid eating meat and bread and try eating foods with low-carbon and I will eat more fruits
    and vegetables.
    How much I will use electronics:
    I will cut down the electronics that I am not using and putting a time limit when to turn it back on, like
    watching TV for a maximum of three to five hours per week only.

    What I will recycle:


    I will recycle the things that can be recycled, and when I buy stuff, I will choose recycled and
    second-hand items.
    Other things I will do:
    I will save energy by unplugging my phone charger if I do not need it, also reduce the use of
    emission, and just walk when the place I am heading to is not that far.
