Thinking about our Environmental Impact

Today's activities are dedicated to thinking about our environmental impact on our world. Mr. Friedmann is visiting us from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection to talk to us about an opportunity to do a Reading cleanup. We will then take some time exploring our "carbon footprint" and thinking about the ways we can help our school reduce its environmental impact.

We will be using the carbon footprint calculator on ZeroFootprintKids.com to help us get a rough estimate for our carbon footprint. Each of us will then submit our scores into a google form to see which students and their families are the greenest!

Submit your results to our class google form here.

Once everyone has submitted their results we can brainstorm about what we'd like to do next to help EcoClub and Parker families reduce their carbon footprint and impact on our local environment.
