In this module we have been examining environmental indicators and standards. One way to be aware of the environmental impact of a person or business is to know the carbon footprint. In this assignment you will calculate your carbon footprint. Please write a short 2 page paper that you submit online, please make sure it is well written and properly cited.

1. How did you calculate your carbon footprint? Tell me the calculator and website you used. Why did you use this calculator?
2. What is your carbon footprint? Were you surprised? Was it more or less than what you expected?
3. What are some ways you can reduce your own carbon footprint?
4. Did the calculator you used offer any ways to offset your carbon footprint? If so, what were they? How does it work?
