Summary:

Your carbon footprint is defined as the number of greenhouse gases caused by you, an organization, or a product. The more transportation is needed for something, the bigger the carbon footprint of that object or person gets. For example, if you need items to make a product, you find the mode of transportation for each and add up the number of CO2 emitted to find out the total carbon footprint of your product. It is important to know your carbon footprint so you can see your impact on the environment and how you can decrease that amount to help the environment.

SP5: Using mathematics and computational thinking

This week I worked on a map with my partner to find where our materials come from. We then used math to find our carbon footprint. I performed SP5: Using mathematics and computational thinking this week because I used math to figure out our total carbon footprint.
