Carbon Footprints
Read this NY Times article and answer the following questions in the form of a google notebook document. Share your document with me at iburgos2@schools.nyc.gov.
a. What is the mission of the Westport Green Energy Task Force?
b. What actions, according to the article, can people easily take to reduce their individual carbon footprint?
c. In your opinion, are most people willing to do these things to reduce their impact on the Earth? Why or why not?
d. What evidence is there that Americans’ attitudes toward climate change are evolving?
e. In the article, Kimberly Lake is quoted as saying that “trickle up isn’t enough. You need trickle down if you want to make massive change.” What does she mean by this statement?
f. In your opinion, what steps, if any, should national, state and local government take in order to reduce emissions?
g. What obstacles continue to face groups like the Westport Green Energy Task Force in their efforts to make a difference?
Wait until instructed before moving on.
Brainstorm individually in your journals in response to the following prompt: “Think about some of the ways that carbon-based natural resources, such as coal, oil and gas, are used within our local area. Make a list of examples under the four categories written on the board.”
