1. Submit your carbon footprint calculation/result ( 1-2 sentences)

According to the carbon footprint calculator from the website, our household
emits a total of 94.02 kilogram(s) of Carbon Dioxide per month.

2. A reflection about your carbon foot print in not less than 200 words.

Honestly, I never thought about calculating my carbon foot print in my whole existence
but after the activity I am glad that I am able to do this experience. I do care about the
earth’s condition and our environment and I am well aware of the bad effects or disasters
that we are experiencing now because of changes throughout the years, but I never knew
exactly how much a little action or usage of something really contribute on the damage of
our mother nature. Today, I have learned that the amount of gadgets that we have on our
household manifest on how much heat we are having on our house not just because of
the sunlight. In this age of mine, I particularly notice the amount of heat that is surrounding
our house and you would be shocked because I live in the province and our house is built
surrounded by a lot of plants and trees yet it is still very hot here even in this ber-months.
I guess that our manmade doing or the lack of discipline of every human being throughout
the years have really destroyed the earth long ago, it is just that we are noticing it little by
little and although people are saying that they care about our planet, in reality, they are
just complaining and kept on repeating their mistakes of adding more disruption on our
earth. We only have one planet and we are given the hands, feet, and minds to take care
of it. The article included in the website gave me an insight about how I could make a
change and prevent the natural disasters even in little ways. I strongly believe that one
person can do something so what more If we all cooperate and teach ourselves to be
more disciplined. It is not hard to do tasks that helps our environment so we must stop
being selfish and stop treating our planet like nothing. I learned that we should take
seriously the little things that bring bad effects to our homes and advocate more about
saving our planet and the humanity.
