Trees in Discovery Garden
Today we measured and found out that our
discovery garden trees store approximately 155 kg of carbon.
Now get a sense of how much C02 you
produce doing everyday activities.
Activity C02 Produced
(kg)
Driving a car 1
kilometre= 0.28
Watching an LCD
television for 1 hour 0.088
Sending 1 email with an
attachment 0.050
Making a cell phone call
for 1 minute 0.057
Can you figure out how many trees you
would need to offset the amount of carbon you produce watching TV, riding in a
car or using a cell phone over the course of one week?
Present this neatly in a chart, and
clearly communicate how big your carbon footprint is in kg per week.
Please bring this in for Monday, so we can measure the Room 19's carbon footprint as a whole class.
Can you please confirm how many trees are in the Discovery Garden so Roan can calculate how many kg each tree is worth, and figure out how many trees he needs to offset his carbon footprint. Thanks!
