Steps to a Greener Carbon Footprint
What is a Carbon Footprint?
A carbon footprint is the amount of pollution we make that harms the Earth.
It comes from things we do, like driving cars, using electricity, and creating rubbish.
Can you think of ways we might make pollution at home or school?



Smart travel
Cars use fuel that makes pollution.
Walking, biking, or using public transport helps reduce pollution.
How do you travel to school?

Saving energy at home
Turning off lights and using less electricity helps reduce our carbon footprint.
Try using energy-saving bulbs and unplugging devices when not in use.
How else can you save electricity?

Eating green
Eating fruits and veggies that are grown nearby helps reduce pollution from transporting food.
Growing your own food is even better!
What is your favourite fruit or vegetable to eat?

Planting trees
Trees help clean the air and take in carbon dioxide, which reduces our carbon footprint.
Planting trees and taking care of them is very important.

Be water wise
Using less water helps save energy and reduce pollution.
Turning off the tap while brushing teeth and taking shorter showers are easy ways to save water.

Using products that are good for the environment helps reduce pollution.
Look for items with less packaging and those that can be recycled.
