Print out the first page of this document to draw out your own carbon footprint and what you can do to help the Earth. On the next two pages you’ll find directions and some tips!

You’ll need electricity and gas bills, information on your car, and some help from your parents. https://www.conservation.org/carbon-footprint-calculator#/.
