A calculation sheet

Steps

1
Mark a personal or household footprint roughly. A calculator is not required.
2
Compare with the class pattern. Name an EU or global average if you have one.
3
Vote one collective pledge (the Carbon Summit).

Inclusion

Numbers are not required; a ranking is enough. Paper is enough if there is no device.

At the end of the session

Hand in a short personal note and the class pledge.

Home task

The family may talk about one household habit; no number is required.
