Final Bonus Assignment

noreply@blogger.com (CBEMN) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:00:00 +0000

For the final bonus assignment, go to this carbon footprint calculator and prepare as comprehensive a summary of your carbon footprint as possible. You may not know some of the values immediately, so you might need to consult your landlord for some values, for example. As you work through the calculator, these things will become apparent. Submit a page print of your completed calculation and a one-page document describing the methods you used to determine all values. Include a statement on your biggest footprint area and how you might work towards reducing this. This bonus assignment is due, if you choose to do it, by Wed., Dec. 2.

A new article published on the BBC web site indicates that "failure to agree to a new UN climate deal in December will bring a "global health catastrophe", say 18 of the world's professional health organizations." The December "deal" they are referring to is the UN Climate meeting to be held in Copenhagen, where nations will come together to attempt to set targets for emission reductions.
