We need to calculate our school's carbon footprint.

The best I can tell, is that is something that we have supposedly made on our environment; or it is a term that tree hugging environmentalists came up with. Basically it is a bunch of crap, if your school mission is to teach our youth...I consider that much more important than the amount of rain water that is diverted because the gym is built near an endangered gnat's homeland. In my opinion, your carbon footprint is 100 percent. If some other carbon based critter wants to challenge that, Let it evolve to our level!

A carbon footprint is a fancy name for the relative amount of carbon it adds to the atmosphere, generally in the form of CO2 from heating.

It is the amount of energy consumption. Energy comes from coal in the ground, and coal is made primarily of carbon. If you have used ten pounds of coal for energy you have left a ten pound footprint in the ground. It is in some ways a figure of speech

When you step in your fireplace and then jump on your white rug. That will show you your carbon footprint!

It is the amount of carbons your school uses. Typically, it's calculated based on the electricity, natural gas, gasoline, etc. that your school uses daily.
