Conserve your Carbon Footprints!!

  1. Change your way of transportation: Try walking to school, or taking a car pool. An average car releases twenty pounds of carbon dioxide. If you live quite far ride a bike. Its good to be out of the engine and get fresh air.

  2. Save energy: Some people dont realize this but wasting water or electricity can release so much  carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. 

  3. Choose better eating selections: Although eating lots of meats sounds good, imagine the work it took to get to your local grocery store. Workers use large trucks that release two times more carbon. Processing the meat also uses fossil fuels which is harmful to people in sight. It's also really healthy to eat better.

  4. Find alternative energy sources: People at home could convert to better energy souces. Wouldnt it be better to go solar or even use hydro power? Imagine the amount of money you would be saving, and how much earth would be improved.

  5. Plant a tree: Planting is one of the easiest thing you could do. It doesnt take so much effort, and in the long run that tree will be taking in your carbon emissions.

  6. Rasie awareness: Become active with your school on finding innovative ways to help out your community. You can even go around your neighboor hood telling people about your cause.

  7. Avoid Traffic: by staying on idle for more than one minute can lead to a bunch of carbon being released and damage a lot of the earth.

 

 

 

 

PS#5 is prone to idiling, the amount of black carbon emissions coming into our school, is affecting the health of the students. About thirteen percent of our student body has Asthma. This may be a result of all the carbonated air we breath.

If we reduce the amount of carbon footprints in our school community it can help us with our action plan and mission statement; Which is to help purify the air quality in school zone. If we succesfully accomplish this task it would benefit all of us .

The amount of black carbon that we are breathing at PS#5 is moderate, and as moderate becomes the new average, it gets worse.
