April 25: Global Footprint Network

Today we reviewed section 2.1 in the text and got through the guided reading.  After that, we went to the computer lab to explore the Global Footprint Network and calculate our own carbon impact.  They were asked to read the introduction, overview, world footprint and carbon footprint pages under “Footprint Basics” and then do the quiz under the personal footprint tag.  After they completed that and printed their results, I asked them to come up with 10 ways to reduce their carbon footprint for homework.
