003 - Carbon Footprints

Activity One - Extended Answer Question

We have already looked at the increase production of carbon emissions for the climate unit in Paper Two so you have an understanding of why there has been increase. For this syllabus point it is asking you to focus on how the carbon footprint has grown as a result of increased global interactions. We don't often think about the impact we have every time we get on a plane to go and visit family or when we order something on line to be delivered. These interactions have just become apart of normal every day life. So how much carbon is produced from these flow and does that differ between places? As a group we are going to develop a detailed essay plan for the exam style question below. You will of course need A3 paper and a set of coloured pens.

Using examples, examine how the carbon footprint of different flows can impact the environment. [12 marks]
