LLPOT 660 - Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

By now, most people understand that carbon dioxide (CO2) is considered to be one of the primary causes of global warming. But how do you reduce your usage of CO2 without making changes you're not prepared to keep up? In our first meeting, we'll show you why the typical US household produces 55,000 carbon pounds (CO2 emissions) per year while the average Swedish household contributes only 15,000 pounds annually. We'll then explore how to trim the carbon 'fat' through lifestyle and household practices, and set up a peer-support network to help you introduce and maintain changes in your own home. In three weeks, we'll meet again so you can measure the differences in your carbon footprint and share them with the class. Join this class to see how you can make a difference and have fun trying! Special fee covers David Gershon's Low Carbon Diet workbook.
