Carbon Footprint and Air Pollution

How do annual CO2 emissions compare air pollution deaths from fossil fuels?

• CO2 emissions directly cause air pollution deaths.

• Higher CO2 emissions correlate with higher air pollution deaths.

• CO2 emissions have no relation to air pollution deaths.

• Lower CO2 emissions correlate with higher air pollution deaths.

While CO2 does not directly cause health issues, what connection does CO2 have to pollution that does cause health problems and death?

• CO2 is a direct cause of respiratory diseases.

• CO2 emissions contribute to climate change, which indirectly affects health.

• CO2 emissions are unrelated to any health issues.

• CO2 emissions directly cause heart diseases.

Based on the questions the calculator asked you, what types of activities and actions impact your carbon footprint?

• Traveling by airplane

• Reading books

• Painting

• Listening to music

What do you think the activities from the carbon footprint calculator share, and why are they causing carbon footprints?

• They all involve energy consumption

• They are all outdoor activities

• They are all leisure activities

• They are all educational activities

Based on what we've already learned, what other emissions do you think are released when carbon footprints are large?

• Methane

• Oxygen

• Helium

• Neon

If carbon footprints were reduced, how do you think that would impact air pollution in those areas?

• Air pollution would decrease

• Air pollution would increase

• Air pollution would remain the same

• Air pollution would fluctuate randomly

What does "per capita" mean in the context of CO₂ emissions?

• Total emissions of a country
