Carbon Footprint

Your carbon footprint is a gauge of your CO2 emissions or the impact your activities have on the environment measured in carbon emissions. Your carbon footprint is measured in units, tonnes or kg of CO2. Our carbon footprint is mainly produced through burning fossil fuels for heating and transportation, but also in the production and shipping. We can reduce our carbon footprints with carbon offsetting.

A carbon footprint is made up of two parts: your direct carbon footprint, the things you do directly like drive a car , and your indirect carbon footprint, things like the energy used in shipping goods to your home.

1. The direct carbon footprint is a measure of our direct emissions of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels including domestic energy consumption and transportation (e.g. car and plane). We have direct control of these. These are easy for you to change immediately by cycling, car sharing or taking holidays at home. You can offsett your carbon footprint with carbon credits.

2. The indirect carbon footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use – these are generally associated with their manufacture and eventual disposal. We can offset these by changing suppliers, reducing how much we buy or carbon credits.

Click here to learn more about this film: www.classroomvideo.co.uk Can economic growth be environmentally sustainable? Footage filmed in the slums of Dhaka shows just how bad industrial pollution can get and the victims of globalisation explain how it is affecting their environment and health. Next the programme talks to environmental activists, factory owners and government officials and ask what needs to be done to make industrial growth in Bangladesh sustainable? It then sees how a company sited in a UK National Park is facing the same challenge, but by reducing pollution, waste and energy consumption is reducing their carbon footprint while also saving money. This DVD includes a fantastic bank of teacher resources and student activities, designed and written by Bob Digby, educational consultant, GCSE principal examiner and author of numerous geography text books.

Installation video showing one wall of the piece being put together. This installation at the New England Institute of Art is the culmination of a week-long artist residency that involved visiting a number of Brookline schools as part of Climate Change Action Brookline’s Climate Week. This piece is a photo journal recording all of my activities that contribute to my CO2 emissions along with graphs to interpret my footprint. The piece represents a multi-year effort to record, digest, and calculate my environmental impact — but, it’s truly a work-in-progress that will most certainly evolve as I continue to develop and exhibit the images and data.
