Learning Targets

Reducing Carbon Footprint:

Simple Steps for review
question6-9 sev3 exam

Understanding Carbon Emissions

●Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions: Primary contributor to global warming

●Average individual contribution: 48,000 pounds of CO2 annually

●Main sources: Burning fossil fuels for heating, cooling, and energy
consumption

●Goal: Reduce personal carbon footprint through small daily changes

●Benefits: Environmental protection and potential cost savings

Household Energy Efficiency

●Showering:

●Reduce shower time by 2 minutes: Save 340 pounds CO2/year

●Install low-flow showerhead:

●Reduce water usage by 20,000 gallons/year

●Decrease heating costs by up to 16%

●Lighting:

●Replace 75-watt incandescent with 19-watt CFL:

●Reduce 50 pounds CO2/year

●Longer lifespan, fewer replacements

●Refrigerators:

●Choose Energy Star-rated models:

●Reduce over 500 pounds CO2/year

●Maintain properly: Check door seals, clean coils

Lifestyle Choices for Carbon Reduction

●Diet:

●Typical American diet: Over 3,000 pounds CO2/year

●Reduce red meat consumption for significant impact

●Recycling:

●Recycle paper, plastic, and glass:

●Avoid 1,000 pounds CO2 emissions/year

●Laundry:

●Wash half of loads in cold water: Save 500 pounds CO2

●Air-dry half of laundry: Save 700 pounds CO2

​saving money and reducing environmental impact. Commuters can cut daily expenses by 20-30%, sharing costs such as gas, tolls, and parking. Moreover, carpooling slashes CO2 emissions by 50% per passenger mile, contributing to a greener planet.

​​transportation use

​Using energy sources to energize your house. What energy source does your local powerplant(grid) use?

​​Household green energy

​temperatures at home need to be consistent, air conditioning is best practice with consistent temperature than turning it off and on

sustainable action

Conclusion: Your Impact Matters

●Small changes can lead to significant reductions in CO2 emissions

●Potential to prevent up to two tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere

●Individual actions contribute to global climate goals

●Financial benefits alongside environmental impact

●Take responsibility for your carbon footprint

●Remember: Every action counts in the fight against climate change
