Project #3710 on iSENSEProject.org
Students complete a data input form and estimate their home's carbon footprint using nature carbon footprint calculator
https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/consider-your-impact/carbon-calculator/
Then entering the results of the calculations and some data into this project to compare with others completing the project from other years. Some students may have the opportunity to complete the intake form again to see if the estimate lowered.
The Goal is to lower a percent of the town's Carbon Footprint by scaling the assignment to a project completed by a larger percent of homes in this town and possibly other towns.
