International Student Carbon Footprint Challenge!

You can measure your personal carbon footprint by calculating how much greenhouse gas your activities produce. Every time we turn on a light, travel by car, eat a meal, switch on a TV, or use anything that requires energy, we produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. The CHALLENGE involves understanding the causes of climate change and then envisioning and embodying effective solutions so we, as a planet, can avoid the worst possible consequences.
