ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES



1.

What’s the average carbon footprint of a person?

The average footprint for people in Chile is 4.69 tonnes.
My footprint is 3.30 tonnes per year. 😄The worldwide target to combat climate change is 2 tonnes, I'm not really an environmentalist yet.


2.
Questions:

ØHand washing dishes can use up to _50_ % more of water than using an efficient dishwasher.


Ø Only about _10_ % of global energy comes from renewables.


Ø True or false? Appliances that are turned off don’t use any electricity.
    False, if they are connected they continue to consume energy.

Ø Can you make paper out of hemp?
    Yes, and it is very durable and does not require cutting a forest

1-  It is good to have reusable bags, I believe that in Chile a good first step has been taken when eliminating disposable plastic bags from supermarkets

2- Try to reduce the packaging on the food we buy is necessary, a good idea is to buy vegetables for the week at the fair.

3- Recyclable diapers are another great idea, my sister had a baby six months ago and she uses those diapers, they have also helped her save a lot!
