A VERY CLEAN PERSON
The pollution in our cities is increasing day after day. They are a lot of reassons that cause this
damage in the atmosphere, and we have to try to avoid doing things that put in danger our ozone layer.
Personally I am not a very polluting person. My contribution to climate change is 0,76 tonnes, so I can say that I am a very clean person who respects the nature. If we compare my contribution with the polluting average that has a british inhabitant (5 tonnes), we can see that it is a big difference between them.
The transport I use most is the undreground. I don´t drive a car or a motorbike yet, a big advantage that is very helpful for the enviroment.

What can we do to limite the climate change?
My personal contribution to climate change is 1,11 tonnes per year,so it's less damaging than that of British people whose contribution is 5 tonnes. I think we shouldn't waste so much petrol. A solution could be walking or taking public transport instead of using the car. In my case, I haven't got a car so I don't waste a lot of petrol
A new world
Have you ever thought how much carbon dioxide we emitted during a year?
My personal contribution to climate change is 7.05 tonnes which is an enormous quantity if I comparate with the British contribution.
The pollution of the atmosphere is not only a problem of the develop countries; however it is a global problem.
Some countries like China and India which have developed their industries are starting to polute more and more. Maybe in twenty years the world that we know will be covered by water and this is something that nobody wants.
If we want to avoid this problem, every single person should put something of his/her part to improve the situation of the world.
I compromite my self to pollute less using more public transport and using renewable energies.

Could do better
My personal contribution to climate change is 1.35 tonnes which is not a big quantity in comparison with British people whose contribution is 5 tonnes on average. I really worry about this topic and my result was quite good. The action with I contribute most is using the car because everyday I have to go to the university which is in Leioa and my car uses petrol. However I take 4 people with me too.
What's your carbon footprint?
Go to the BBC news page to calculate yours. Then go to Conservation International and see what you can do to improve your negative impact on the planet.
Finally, make a posting about your carbon foot print result and your ideas on what to do about it.
