Project-+Energy+Reduction



Now that you have calculated your original Global Ecological Footprint and Carbon Footprint it is time to choose a way to reduce your energy use as the Energy Reduction Law requires. You will need to make a proposal to the city council on your efforts to change your energy use. You also want to make something that you can easily show your neighbors to help them choose a conservation method or home improvement. As a part of this you need to do the following:

- Present your Footprint data - Describe a conservation method or home improvement that will help you meet the 1% reduction in carbon footprint requirement - Take pictures to use as proof of what you did - Calculate the energy and $ savings - Evaluation of the process of reducing your energy consumption

It is up to you to chose the media in which you will present your data and information to the community from the following:

Written Reflection and share with class Google Sites (easy to make website through your google account) Wikispaces

Glogster: www.glogster.com

media type="custom" key="11325476"

Prezi: www.prezi.com

media type="custom" key="11325640"

or any other teacher approved website/technology

Once you have your proposal completed you will need to post a link to it on the discussion board above. Please be sure that you have made the proposal shared, viewable with a link or public so that we will be able to see it.
