How much Greenhouse Gas emissions does the school create?

Provide students with copies of electricity bills and ask them to find the following information.

Dates covered in bill. Cost Average kwh usage

From there students will need to multiply the the kwh usage by .62 to determine how many kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions the school is accounting for during that time frame.

From there you will need to halve the amount of greenhouse gas emissions to get the number of black balloons created in one hour by our school.
