I need an essay writer for Environmental Science project on Carbon Footprint
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
For this assignment, you will write an essay of 600-700 words. Begin your preparation to write the essay with the calculation of your carbon footprint, followed by the selection of a method to reduce the levels of carbon already in the atmosphere. Before beginning the assignment, refer to the grading rubric.
Step 1: Use the EPA's Carbon Footprint Calculator at https://www3.epa.gov/carbon-footprint-calculator/ (Links to an external site.) to calculate your own, personal carbon footprint. Find out exactly how much carbon you, personally, are contributing to the growing atmospheric levels.
For your essay draft, discuss 3 ways in which your carbon footprint is higher than you expected and, for each, come up with a realistic (one that's actually feasible for you to do, starting today) plan for reducing your footprint.
Step 2: Unfortunately, reducing our future footprints is only part of the equation. We also need to remove the carbon we've already released in to the atmosphere.There are a couple of strategies to accomplish this goal.
Use of "carbon offsetting" is a direct investment to compensate for your carbon emissions by personally supporting efforts that sequester carbon. In addition to individuals, corporations utilize carbon offsetting since it claims to remove an equivalent amount of carbon to that being emitted by the corporation for less cost in some cases. This article reviews the use of carbon offsetting. In addition, this video has additional information: Carbon Offsets
Large-scale development of new technologies remove carbon from the atmosphere and make it inaccessible. Because of their cost these efforts are sponsored or subsidized by governments with your tax dollars. This document was extracted from an IPCC Special Report and provides an overview of strategies for carbon capture and sequestration. IPCC2018 Carbon Capture and Storage Extract.pdf .
To complete Step 2, carefully review the information regarding carbon offsetting and different technologies for carbon capture and sequestration. Do additional web research where needed so that you understand the benefits and costs of different strategies of carbon removal from the atmosphere. For the purposes of this exercise, you have $100 to spend towards removing the carbon already in the atmosphere, either directly or in the form of taxes that would support new technology. Write another draft addition to your essay selecting your choice of carbon removal method and defending your choice based on scientific information you have found. As you write about your selection, be sure to summarize how this method results in carbon removal, the benefits and costs of the method, and the time frame needed to achieve the desired reduction.
Completion of Essay: Write a one-paragraph introduction to the topic of carbon footprint and carbon removal from the atmosphere. The introduction should be followed by your prepared paragraphs on your personal carbon footprint and method selected to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Finish the essay with a concluding paragraph that summarizes what you have learned in this exercise. List any additional references used at the end of the essay. The total word count excluding the references should be 600-700 words.
** On part 1, my emissions were lower therefore it should be discussed how my emissions were lower than the US average.
