3. CO2 FOOTPRINT
• Students calculated their CO2 footprint
1. 1.7 t of CO2 done by heating, lights and using
all kinds of electric devices,
2. 1.6t of CO2 in transport,
• Average emission per person per year
together is 3,4 t CO2
• We did not count goods that we usually buy
and average emission is still exceeding the
recommended value 2t CO2.

4. Lesson with ten year old pupils
Larisa, Tjaša, Benjamin and me had a lesson about
problem of global warming with ten year old pupils at the
elementary school in Leskovec.
First we presented the theory of global warming and
showed them a movie The Big Ask, about how children
could help. They had a slight problem understanding
some professional terminology such as ozone hole,
atmosphere and carbon diokside. We explained those in
another way, using the words known to them.
We told them that big companies had been doing most of
the harm and that animals (like polar bears) also suffer,
because soon they would not have any place to live.
