What Is Our Carbon Footprint?

Your challenge is to identify local sources of carbon emissions and/or estimate amounts of carbon emissions for different human activities to aid scientists in mapping carbon sources and sinks. How can you inform decisions to adapt to the consequences of a changing world and aid policy makers in making plans for the future?

Choose Public Transportation

Summary

Some gases such as carbon dioxide keep sun rays and it causes world become hotter .This called greenhouse effect.Carbon footprint is the measure of the damage caused by human activities to the environment. Our world is in danger because of greenhouse effect and carbon footprint.And we need to decrease it. And we find an idea . We want everyone prefer public transportation because It is important because when we prefer using public transportation we release 65 less carbon dioxide in atmosphere. We want everyone have a knowledge about this danger.Also we want people become motivated to do something about environment.Beacuse there is only one world in the universe and we are destroying it.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Our solution is to increase the use of public transportation to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide. With the chip to be added to public transport cards, the more public transport people use, the more free they get. Also, the card reader shows how less carbon is emitted to the nature by preferring the public transport to the personal vehicle and these rates are added every time when the card is scanned. In this way, people sees the benefit it has provided to the environment.It is important because when we prefer using public transportation we release 65 less carbon dioxide in atmosphere.We can organise a hackhaton about carbon footprint,prepare posters, invite famous people for representing our campain in social media. We believe people will become conscious.

How We Developed This Project

We chose this project because carbon footprint is really important problem for our world and we want to do something about that. We search for this project and we learn important things about green house effect and carbon footprint.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We use carbon dioxide datas for our project.
