All about us
● We all have jobs
● We are all college students
● Early 20s/30s
● We all commute to work/class
Lena
Cool Climate Network
● 3 adults, 1 teenager● Less than 2 miles from work/school● 300 KwH/m (3600 KwH/y)● 5.5 CO2 personal● 21.8 CO2 household
● 2 adults● Around 15 miles to work/school● Eat out often (5+ times a week)● 19.35 CO2 personal● 38.7 CO2 household
Will
Gina’s FootPrint
★ Family of five 2 Adults 3 Children★ Single family home★ 2 Mid size vehicles/ Commuting ★ Electricity usage 560 KwH a
month/ 6729 KwH/year★ Transportation 22.6 total 53.7
tons CO2/year★ Water 24 1000’s of gallons per year
Fernando’s footprint
- My energy usage for household
- 24.9 terms per month
- 222.3 kWh per month
- 36-40 mile commute daily at ~25mp
Bay Area GHG
Nine Counties
Agriculture
Transportation
Size of County
California
● Energy expenditure per person/month
● Caifornians spend almost $3000 a month on energy
● Most of their money is spent on transportation
● Housing only amounts for about $500
USA Greenhouse Gases
Global Greenhouse gases
● Co2 65% from (industrial and fossil fuels)
● China produces 28% of emissions
● US Produces 16%
Comparison
● Gina is the worst by household
● Will is the worst by person, but
about equal to the US as a
whole
● Gina and Fern come in below
average when compared to
California
● Lena produces the least CO2
out of everyone, and less than
average for California and the
US
14. Changes (What can be done)
You must take the first step
Make good habits
Place limitations on the usage of
cars,water,electricity
Have the environment in mind
● Ride bicycles when travelling short distances <10 miles
● Bring reusable bags to the grocery store to cut down on
plastic bags used
● Carpool/take public transportation to work/school
● Install energy efficient items in homes like energystar
appliances, double paned windows, LED light bulbs
● Install low flow toilets/showerheads
● Eat locally grown food when possible
What we can do
We have become so dependant on resources that it has gotten to a point that we are wasting more than we actually need. A little bit of effort can go a long way. If all of us do small things like riding a bicycle or being more conscious about how we affect the environment, we can make the world a better place to live.
