Reducing Our Carbon Footprints

Hello, my name is N.L. In my Freshman STEAM course class Fuel, we have gotten into the third unit. During this unit, we have been reviewing and learning about solving and plotting inequalities, the carbon cycle, the laws of conservation of energy and thermodynamics, and balancing chemical equations. Throughout this class, I have learned a lot about different sources and types of fuel and energy. We went on a Field Experience where we walked around the Goose Island neighborhood of Chicago and looked for different forms of pollution. Pollution is when any substance is in the wrong place or concentration in the environment. The most interesting and true thing I learned is that "invisible" pollution like carbon emissions is worse than "visible" pollution like litter on the ground. For this Action Project, we were supposed to write an action plan for reducing "our" carbon footprints. Hope you enjoy!
