| FINAL TWO THIRDS OF SLIDES |
| Pick at least three areas where you can lessen your footprint and identify them (Ex: I eat a lot of red meat, I drive a lot, and I buy a lot of clothes) | 5 |
| Pick at least three ways that you can reduce your carbon footprint based on your test results and research the most effective ways to do so. (Ex: Instead of eating red meat everyday I will lessen my consumption by 18oz a week by eating it only once a week.) Be as specific as you can be. | 5 |
| Explain how you will achieve this and cite what you learned from your research about how to do this. (Ex: I will take transit 1 day of the week instead of driving. I can access my job by taking the #7 bus from my apartment to the Little Italy Redline station and take the rapid downtown to work. Not driving that day will reduce my emissions by 20lbs of carbon a week, which is 1000lbs per year.) | 5 |
