Mind Your CO2s
Finalists were challenged to define a carbon footprint and understand how it is determined. Each team researched and calculated a typical carbon footprint scenario and presented the results in a two-minute podcast. Scenarios included a cheeseburger, one year operation of incandescent vs. high efficiency halogen light bulbs, a movie and pizza date, transportation to the YSC event, one year of watching TV, heating a backyard swimming pool for one season, annual use of a home fireplace, and recreational driving for one year.
Team Red spins the “Wheel of CO2 Fortune” to find out which carbon footprint scenario they will be researching and presenting. low res - high res
