CLEAN and GREEN Reducing Our Carbon Footprint Welcome

What are we doing here tonight? Learning about water conservation –How to do it and why it makes so much sense Learning what this has to do with our Carbon Footprint Learning how to make a positive impact –What we can do as individuals and as members of our community

So… What is a Carbon Footprint?? The effect your actions have on the environment, measured by the amount of CO2 you produce through your lifestyle – transportation, household energy use… Not just your own usage, but also what is used to bring you goods and services: –How much energy did it take to get that water to my house? –How does my household water use affect the environment?

Why do we need to lower our Carbon Footprint?? The carbon footprint of each individual, each household, each community… is a measurable indicator of how badly and how quickly – and irreversibly - we are affecting the health of the planet through our direct and indirect actions. The current rate of natural resource consumption by humans is not sustainable by one planet. Were using 1-1/3 planets worth, which is something we dont have!

How do I figure out my carbon footprint? Google carbon footprint calculator and get 251,000 hits… Before you begin: Youll need to know a few things about your household, your annual travel, and more Dont give up! If theres something you dont know, estimate it til you can go back – and dont wait to start taking action!
