Activity 1: Use one or more of the websites to determine your carbon footprint...We use much more carbon dioxide at our house than the average American family..Our house is 40 years old and electricity costs have always been high. Also, I am guessing the calculations for the average family is for a very small home or apartment. I commute 40 miles a day but just bought a new car which gets much better gas mileage. We are careful with natural gas usage at home and have lowered our gas water heater temperature. We keep our garbage to a minimum since there are only two of us at home now. My carbon footprint was 79,272 lbs/ 40 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
Activity 2: Local farmers market...We have one in Dayton which is near our home. I frequent it and love the freshness of their vegetables.
