You should calculate your carbon footprint because it is very interesting to know how much emissions you used in a year. We think you should choose to write to a Calculate Your Carbon Footprint company, to promote more websites and, for every house hold to calculate their carbon footprint per year and try to improve their emissions. We can do this by making adverts for everyone to know about.

We calculated Furze Platt Junior School’s carbon footprint during our Keen to Be Green geography topic.

Count How Many Heaters Are In The School?

We found 50 heaters and radiators all around the school!

We then entered this into the computer.

We found out that the school is heated by oil and that the average school trip mileage comes to 3000 miles per year.

Most of this is made up by the annual trip to R-Y-G!

Electric Bill: £8000 per year

Gas Bill: £600 per year

Fuel and Oil Bill: £5500 per year

Luckily, because we recycle

Aluminium cans

Steel Cans

Plastic

Glass

And NewspaperIt lowered our emissions by a good amount. At least that is one thing that we can’t beat!

Now that we know what Furze Platt Junior Schools carbon footprint is for 1year, we can try and improve it next year!

Try things like ;

Turn off lights, heaters and computers technology when we are not in the room

When it is a warm day-we DON’T need heating at all!

But the good news is our recycling standards are very impressive, so keep it up!
