climate change and your life

Complete this carbon footprint calculator to learn about the impact of your current practices.
Then list three things you could do in your everyday life that would reduce your contribution to climate change. Articulate how each option would reduce your contribution to climate change. Then pick one of your options, try it for a week, and reflect on:
  1. how it felt to do the option you chose;
  2. whether you would recommend it,
  3. whether you think you’ll continue it;
  4. how difficult it was to do;
  5. any unexpected benefits or down-sides.
You can use these lists of ways to cut down on your contributions to climate change to help you come up with your list:
Canada's Action on Climate Change
Climate Change--What You Can Do
Union of Concerned Scientists--Cooler Smarter
David Suzuki Foundation--Top 10 Ways You Can Help Stop Climate Change
