Could you change your journey to school so that you produce less CO2? In this activity pupils explore how we contribute to CO2 emission as we travel to school. The activity raises pupils’ awareness of drawbacks of travelling in general and in relation to their own travelling behavior. By the end of this activity pupils can understand that different forms of transport have different CO2 emission and recognize the connection between transportation and climate change. The activity raises awareness about the environmental costs of ways of travelling (to school). Pupils are motivated to consider and discuss travelling options by making comparisons between different COÇ emissions of classmates. This activity can be easily expanded to involve parents and local authorities.
