Our carbon
footprint is the amount of emissions our daily activities produce, impacting
the environment. Start off by stamping a footprint on a large board(paint
bottom of child’s foot), brainstorm ideas that contribute to our big carbon
footprint (driving a car, flying a plane, wasting energy in house, wasting
water, etc. then brainstorm ideas to make our footprint smaller, carpool, turn
off lights, save water + food. Activity allows children to recognize the how
everything we do impacts our environment and how-to problem solve to shrink our
carbon footprint. Also reiterates the idea of responsibility for the choices we
make.
Materials
needed: Paint, Bristol board, markers
