So I know we've all heard about what a carbon footprint is, but this video brings up a specific concept in reducing our personal footprints: phantom power. Sounds silly, but it actually quite practical. Basically it invovles power usage while things aren't being used (like laptops on standby). Cool video, check it out.

It's so crazy how much our carbon footprint really is. In my natural disaster class we had an assignment where we figured out what our carbon footprint was. We went to www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx and they ask you a series of questions and my carbon footprint is 25.2 tons. It's crazy how big your footprint will be. You should try it out.
I took a class on this and they had each student go to a website and calculate his/hers carbon foot print. I remember that I didn't have that big of an effect because I'm single and a college student. I do remember that families and wealth individuals create huge carbon foot prints. I think its not very accurate because I think that its extremely hard to measure. I dose give you a good idea on you effects with the enviornment.
