Global Warming: A Way Forward: Facing Climate Change

1. What are some of the primary concerns about climate change - What damaging effects is it projected to have on the environment, and therefore, on earth's human population?

A.   Some concerns that might be are the server weather storms, and  how the weather storms are becoming regularly. Then there who are  people cutting down forests at a fast rate and destroying many of our rain forests. There is also the concern of factories that pollute the air we breathe. 


B. The effects we have on the earth is that we have to produce more of a certain things to sustain our growth in population, and thus polluting our environment further. There is also the effect of using up all of the resources to produce a certain necessities for living. The effect is also that we have polluted many of our water ways and our air that we breathe too. This could cause our children and their's after them that they have to deal with the effects of the air on them as well.

2. What could Menaul School do to help be part of the solution to global climate change? What can you do?


A. I think that Menaul School could do to help be a part of being the solution to global climate change is in a series of simple and easy steps. We could  find a different mode of transportation than polluting the air even more. Next we could cut back on the consumption of mass production like stop buying named brands that we know of.  Then we could not by bottle water due to proven facts, but yet we still do. Then cut back on consumption of water use and other necessities like lighting of our homes. Finally, we could research on other good ways to be apart of the solution of global warming. 

3. Find out what your carbon footprint is at this link - http://www.nature.org/greenliving/carboncalculator/index.htm - Did the results surprise you? What do you think Menaul School's carbon footprint is - how could we make that better?

A. My Behavior breakdown was Home Energy (93.7%),Driving & Flying (0.0%),Recycling &Waste(1.0%), and Food & Diet (5.4%). I was surprised by how much I leave on the environment, and how much a U.S. average person I'am out of. I was 5.5 out of the total world, so that was pretty good. I think that Menaul's carbon foot print probably pretty bad, and that's what I'm guessing
