"How Green are Our Feet?" Energy Kickoff!

Today we completed the survey at zerofootprintkids.com to get the class thinking about our new project topic Energy: How Green are Our Feet?

Here are some of our reflections after completing the survey:

“It made me more aware of the environment and what is happening to the earth.”

“It made me realize of the ways that I am not eco friendly and helped me to think of ways to change that (i.e. composting). ”

“It made me aware and think of other things that I could do like composting or living in an apartment. ”

“It opened my eyes about some things that we do in the environment.”

“What we do doesn’t affect just us, it affects everyone.”

“It was hard to evaluate yourself on what you are doing because I had to think about if I had fluorescent lighting or I had to think about what type of washing machine I had. The quiz made me think of things that I would not have normally.”

“It is a waste of time, you should know if you are eco friendly already, you shouldn’t need the quiz to make you more aware, you should already know, but it’s good to know if we are making an impact. ”

“It made me realize how many people don’t notice the impact that they have on the environment, how what we do doesn’t just affect us, it affects everyone.”

“It made you feel that you could do more for the environment.”
