CARBON FOOTPRINT

Slide2

Hey

You

!

Yes,yes you! When you open the book, do you know you leave a trace on the book?What kind of a trace is this? A fingerprint, A handprint, browse the traces; which one is for you? I have a lot of traces on the earth. I’m the GREEN DRAGON!

I fly with the

wind’s energy.

I get energy from the steams of hot waters from the underground.

It’s my biggest fun to watch the turning wheels with the powers of the rivers!

I wonder what

the

waters

under

the

ground

include

. I

like

finding

out

the

sources

of

natural

gases

too

much

.

Slide3

Curiosity

is

the most beautiful way of learning and having fun… I usually get curious about something such as how I was born, who

I am. When I

get curious

I begin to ask questions about

the place I live in or the things around

us. In these

days

the

matter

that

I

get

curious

about

is

the

earth

’s

structure

.

Slide4

We can say that the

earth

is composed of nested globes.

We can give the name of nucleus to heavy sphere, earth crust to Stone sphere, the part at the oceans and seas to water sphere the top layer which is covered atmosphere to air sphere.Atmosphere: The top of the earth is covered with gas clouds. Atmosphere separates us from the space.Earth’s Crust: This part consists of the rocks. Rocks are covered with soil and we live in this part.Mantle:

This place, which is called magma, is filled

with a similar melted

iron with a hot matter.Nucleus: There is a core in the middle of the world. Like a hard core of peach…

There is a core in the hard core of the peach.There is another nucleus hidden in the world’s nucleus like inside of the peach.

Slide5

Air

sphere

, in other words the atmosphere is like a cabbage. It keeps the sun’s harmful rays and the Sun’s glow. So, it prevents overheating and freezing of the earth. There are gases which are needed for living. Exosphere:It’s the top

layer. When exosphere ends, outer space

begins.

Ionosphere: It’s very hot. Radio waves find a way in Ionosphere. Communication signals

happen here.Mesosphere: There is the ozone layer which prevents harmful rays coming

from the Sun.

Stratosphere

:

There

is no

water

vapour

.

There

are

no

climatic

events

.

There

is no

gravity.

Traposphere

:

It

has

gas

and

water

vapour

.

Climatic

events

happen

in

this

area

.

Slide6

Do

you

know anything which is colourless, scentless, tasteless, , flows like water, streches like rubber

, compressible, enlargable

, can carry

and send the

things inside itself to another

place?

This

talented

thing

is

called

Atmosphere

is

a

mixture

of

mostly

gases

.

The

existence

of

our

p

lanet depends on the constant presence and the right amount of these gases .

Damp, argon, carbon dioxide, neon, helium, methane, krypton, hydrogen, xenon %1

Some dust

A little smoke

Some chemical salt

Some micro-organisms

Oxygen, enables the occurence of fire and livings’ respıration.

Nitrogen, enables plants to be nourished.

Carbon dioxide, allows plants to breathe.

Damp, allows the precipitation to occur, the atmosphere to hold heat, prevents the heat escape out of space.

the

atmosphere

.

Slide7

Atmosphere

,

determines

the climate of the regions.Well, what is climate?The observed temperature

for an extended

period of time,

humidity, air pressure,

wind, weather events like precipitation

are collectively

called

as

climate

.

What

the

climate

will

be

like

depends

on

the

situation

of

that

place in the world, forms of the mountains, the distance

of that place to the sea. The climate is generally

the same in the

place where you

live. You can predict the

highest , the lowest temperature in summer

and winter months . But you must have heard that in recent years ,

the climate has been changing everywhere . Do you know

what the climate change means?

Slide8

Atmosphere

absorbs

the heat and the harmful rays of the sun, keeps the enough amount, protects

the Earth

reflecting

back the remaining.

Thus, the Earth is always as warm

as it should

be.

However

,

temperature

of

the

Earth

has

been

raising

regularly

,

especially

in

the

last

50

years

. This situation called global warming indicates that atmosphere is not doing a

good job.Atmosphere cannot reflect back the remaining of the

heat. Thus the

Earth is getting hotter.

Temperature is gradually rising just

like the greenhouse which we

build in order to cultivate fruit or vegetable in winter.

Slide9

You

may

think that it’s a good thing that the Earth is a warm place or you do not feel

cold in

winter. But

, the ocean currents

change with the rise in temperature

. The polar

ice

caps

melt

quickly

.

In

consequence

of

that

,

the

amount

of

water

in

seas

and oceans increases. It rains much less in inland areas. This

condition causes drought, even desertification. Because of not being able to tolerate the drought, some plant

species perish. The

force of the wind which

results from the

raising of the warm air increases. As a

result of that, storms occur more frequently and severely.

Slide10

Marsh

gases

, ozone and carbon gasses are the things that changing our world so fast

.Carbon

gasses come

out when coal, oil

and some fuels burn. They rise to

the

sky

with

the

smoke

coming

out

from

chimneys

,

cars

,

and

planes

.

They

pile up on the atmosphere and they make it thicker. Because of this thickness, atmosphere

cannot reflect more hazardous rays and the warmth from the sun.

So rays and warmth

stay in our world.

This is called “Global Warming”. And

the global warming causes global climatic changes

.World exists for millions of years, so what is the reason

which prevents atmosphere to do its task and what is

changing the climate?

Slide11

Every

body

who lives in this world, leaves a trace in the world. Some traces

are big

. Like

Great Wall of China,

Egyption Pyramids, Eiffel Tower

.

Some

traces

are

impressive

like

Da

Vinci’s

Mona

Lisa

painting

or

Rodin’s

statue of “Thinking Man”.Some traces change

the world like the invention of electricity, telephone and car.

Some traces are

sorrowful like deforestation, atmosphere’s

changes, most kind of

animal’s waste, melt of glaciers.C

arbon gases, which change our world’s climate and occur as

a result of people’s activity , leave a sorrowful

trace.This trace is called “Carbon foot print

”.

Slide12

You

wake

up and wash your face in the morning. Your mother makes tea, an ommelette

for breakfast

. You

wear your new

washed and pressed uniform. Your

school

bus

comes

and

you

go

to

school

.

Every

object

you

use

in

the

class is produced somewhere and they get to place where

you buy them by a vehicle. You see some fuels used in

order to warm

school. You turn on lights,

photocopy, watch something on computer

. You do all this things by

using electricity. Every activity in your daily routine effects atmosphere,

energy resources and environment.As a result of

these activities you also contribute to carbon gases

that emanate to the atmosphere.

Slide13

YES

SOMETIMES NO The people of most countries have calculation of carbon footprints.To do this, read

the questions

Answer

yes, no or sometimes.

Do you prefer throwing the

trash

to

recycling

?

Do

you

use

electricity

and

electrical

stuff

very

often

?

Do you use charcoal ?Do you travel by plane ?If you do, are you going long distances ?Do

you have a car?If you do, do you drive it very often ?Do you travel long distances by

your car ?Do you consume

meat too much ?Do you eat

fruit and vegetables which are out of

season? Do you buy new clothes very often ?

Do you use packed products ?Do you buy electronic stuff (mobile phone, computer etc.) very often ?

Count your answers. the number of "YES" indicates that

your carbon footprint is big. If"SOMETIMES" is more

than other answers, by a little more attention,you can make your footprint smaller. If"NO" is more than other answers, it shows

your

carbon

footprint

is

small

which

means

you

are

an

environmentalist

.

Slide14

The

world’s

climate has been changing very quickly for the last 50 years because of environmental pollution,

construction of new

factories,

increasing consumption of energy and

natural resources. Everybody can do something

to slow

down

this

exchange

and

decrease

the

carbon

release

.

We

can

decrease

our

house temperature by 2°CWe can turn

off the lamp which is unnecessaryWe can unplug the appliances in sleep mode.We

think it is more environmentally

friendly to get energy from wind, steam power, the sun, natural gas and rivers. For this

we can prefer a company which

produces energy with clean energy

resources.

Slide15

While we are

doing

shopping, we must be careful about where the products are produced. Products coming from far countries release more carbon gases while they are being transported.We should eat fruits and vegetables that are grown in our country. It is better to transport in small distances.We must be careful about buying packed products less. While they are being produced, they cause carbon exhales and can

give harm

to environment.

Slide16

We

must

use less fuel by making insulation.We must prefer public transportation instead of private cars.We must walk or ride a bike for short distances.We must plant saplings to reduce the emission of carbon gases.

We must

try to create less waste.

We must remind our family to buy devices which use energy efficiently.

Slide17

Carbon footprint is not similar to our footprints on the sand.

A wave cannot erase these footprints.

We should try to decrease the carbon footprints and we should take precautions to destroy the carbon gas.It is important to learn more about this point, want to do something, start to do it and make common behaviors with your friends.Until we meet again, we expect you to work harder for the environment…
