Environmental Science - Carbon Footprint Calucuator

Type a reflection and edit it in Word then paste it here in the comments section.  You can use these questions to guide your reflection: Were you surprised at your result?  What are areas in your life that you could easily reduce your impact on the planet? What areas would be more difficult?  What are some areas of your life that you never even considered as having a negative impact on the environment?  Do you challenge the use of some of the areas they use to calculate ones carbon footprint?
