HELP PLEASE, SOMEONE GAVE ME UNFINISHED ANSWERS
Instructions

1.Using three (3) online calculators, calculate your household’s carbon footprint for one year. Energy use is different in different seasons, so it is best to include a full year of data, to account for all four seasons.

DATA: FIND ANSWERS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR

Record the data that you entered for each online calculator, and summarize the data in a table that will be included in your report. The table might look something like this:

Data

ABC Calculator

Canadian Gov’t Calculator

Green Calculator

Electricity use (kWh)

Natural gas consumption (cu. ft.)

Gasoline (L)

(other?)

Household carbon footprint

Note: Your table may have slightly different information than this sample version, and may use different calculators.

In another table, record any suggestions on reducing your footprint given to you by the online carbon footprint calculators.

1.A discussion of the similarities and differences among the results and suggestions from each site. (e.g., What might cause the differences? Did each calculator request identical information? Were the units the same? Could the different calculators be based on different assumptions that only apply to certain geographic areas?)

2.A paragraph describing how you might apply the results to reduce your carbon footprint and save money without changing your quality of life

We can minimise the carbon footprint by following ways:

For that use the motor vehicle that use low carbon eg instead of using diseal vehicle use petrol vehicle

Use LED bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs. These LED bulbs consumes less power and they also gives more light

we can also reduce the mileage of the vehicle by 33%.

While buying the electronic product we can buy the labeled refrigerator and air conditioners. These are more energy efficient and also emits low carbon

we can alter driving mode like few days use bike and other days by walk or use public transport.

we can install solar panels in our homes

we can eat food that is organic and locally produced.

We must follow the 3R technology which is reuse, recycle and reduce
