Our carbon footprint - The Carbon Crunchers get calculating


Today the "Carbon Crunchers" group continued calculating our school carbon footprint.  

Our Carbon Footprint Calculations

We took the data we already had for our power use for a year and calculated the carbon equivalent.

Next we used the school van's log book to work out how many km it had done one in a year, then we worked how much diesel that took and finally the carbon equivalent.

Lastly we found out from our property manager how much petrol our power tools use and worked out the carbon equivalent.

Next we need to work out our carbon foot print for our water use and landfill waste. Finally we'll add it altogether to work out our school's carbon footprint. 

We'll need to work out a way to effectively communicate our results and what steps we can take to reduce our emissions. 

Stay tuned!
