Week 4

A survey is created, the question are based around the daily activities of students that could impact the environment in a certain form (e.g shower, electronic usage, etc). Since the survey is based around Drexel students, the questions are based on what student do during their stay in Drexel University. The survey has been published and a wait period is in progress for student responses. The survey can be found here:

The survey is published through both print and online. Once a satisfaction amount of replies have been received, or a duration of one week has passed, the group will used the survey results and proceed to calculating Drexel student's carbon footprint.

Week 1

Greetings! Welcome to Group015-03 project blog. During the 10 week course, a weekly update of the blog will be posted. The plan of this website is to blog the progress of the project on the research of carbon footprint. The research will study what contributes to the greenhouse gas and how to control certain variables to decrease the contribution. The research will focus solely on Drexel Students and their daily impacts. Once a good amount of information is attained, a solution will be devised on how students can become more economical.
