REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Calculate My Carbon FootprintWhat stood out to you most about your carbon footprint? What surprised you or sparked curiosity? Where can you take most immediate action?
Krystyna Morozova 4/13/2021 12:40 PMWhile my result was 34% better than average consumer, I realized that my household's footprint can be improved with many simple commitments such as reducing consumption of red meat and dairy, practicing eco safe driving by reducing accelerations and breaking etc. I was surprised that driving just 10mph slower on a highway can make a difference. -
