my footprint

www.mycarbonfootprint.org
this site was ok for me but not good for little kids because it asks for information that most kids wouldn't know. my footprint was 8.26.
three ways i can reduce my footprint are unplug charges when not in use, more efficient lightbulbs and ride my bike when i can instead of a car.
three ways that the school can reduce their footprint are use hydrogen generators, use computers instead of paper in classes, and use solar panels as a source on energy.
three ways that the community could reduce their footprint are by uses wind turbines to power businesses, build a hydroelectric plant and more bike lanes to encourage people to ride bikes instead of driving cars.
for my action prject my group and i are going to creat hydrogen using a chemical reaction and use it to power a small engine. this relates to reducing our footprint because hdrogen burns very clean and does not have the harmful effects on the environment that CO2 does. hydrogen can also be used to power many thing suck as cars or heaters or anything that runs on propane gas.
