My Documentary
hey it was great to hear that you had fun doing the carbon footprint calculator! Ur result has come out good as compared to ur highest and the lowest rate of ur class..... good job! If you still think that your result is more than what you had thought then you can take measures as we had discussed yesterday.
I have taken out some videos of people in Pune,India. We asked different people from different fields about their views regarding global warming and climate change. Got many varied answers. We really had fun doing this. Our motive is to know how many people in pune are aware of these issues and take measures to controll them. Many people feel about this but some of them are not interested or do not care at all. I hope we have got what our motive was in the videos. The conclusion of doing this task is to make people realise and know what they think .
Let me know what is going out at your end......
1) what do you want to do in your future ?
2) how are the job opportunities there?

carbon footprint calculator
The carbon footprint calculator tells us the amount of carbon utilised by us. It considers all the equipments which we use in our daily life. It is a very easy and a short way to know how much carbon is consumed per year. This calculator can help us realise the amount of carbon produced by us in our daily course of life. My result of carbon footprint calculator has come out to be 5.20 tonnes. I think that it is more than required and i realised that because of this calculator. I really had no idea about it before .
This is a great way to find out the carbon released by us in our lives . It gives you a lot of knowledge. I personally think that the girls in U.S.A who are a part of this wise should also try out calculating because it is the need of the hour for all of us to know the amount of carbon released by us.
After we have calculated the carbon produced by us , we can take the necessary measures and precautions to reduce its consumption. As you can see my result is more than required as the per capita rate of India is 1.1 tonnes and U.S.A is the highest consumer of carbon so i suppose even you would have to take measures to reduce the consumption of carbon. It will help us all in a good way. We are not only doing this for us but for all the people in the world and to have a bright future.
Steps like using electricity when needed only and not wasting it unnecessarily, using public transport and avoiding pollution and emition of smoke. We can also adopt a proper way of recycling waste. In this way we can controll the production of carbon in a great way.
some questions for you.....
1) what is ur result of the carbon footprint calculator?
2) in what way can this help us?

introduction
hey, this is Yugandhara here.....i am from Pune, India.I am 16 years old. I am doing science in Kalmadi Shamarao Junior College and in 12th standard currently. I have opted for geography in 11th and 12th. I would like to do B.sc in physics further. Listening to music is my favourite past time . I am interested in learning geography as it is a subject which keeps you updated with the important issues like climate. Pune is a very calm city and not as fast as Mumbai. Recently it was really hot in summers and now as its monsoons we are expecting good rains here! I will be very glad to talk to you about climate change and global warming and exchange views.
I stay in a nuclear family. I have an elder sister who is 5 years elder to me. My family is also fond of being updated with the climate change and other factors related to geography. They are really supporting me in this project. All the members in my family i.e mother,father and sister think that global warming will affect all the peaple in the world in a great way in the near future. So it should be controlled as soon as possible. We all think that the government should also work on these issues and try to resolve them as they have the power to take decisions on the front! My parents are very disappointed with todays situation in the world because in their times things were far more better where climate is concerned. The first step of making things better is to open up our minds and make purselves disciplined to devote some time to resolve these worldwide affecting issues.
i would like to ask you three questions :
1) what is your name?
2) what are your interests and favourite past time?
3) what are your ideas or views regarding climate change?
Waiting for your reply ..... see you soon... bye....take care
