- We hear this term a lot but what exactly does it mean?Does anyone know what carbon footprint means?
- It is a measurement of how we treat the earth.How much energy we use.Transportation, heat, etc
- Kids……This is what carbon kind of looks like!

Answer in your mind only….and we will discuss more after our next activity.So….we are going way back and review the story of creation. Each table has a day of creation. I will give you 2-3 minutes to discuss the best way to act our your day. When you are ready, I will read the script and you will act it out at the same time. After each day, we will all say “And God saw that it was good.” I also want your table to come up with a way to celebrate God’s excitement. Each table should have a unique way to celebrate.
- Kids……Which one is most pleasing to God?
- If you want to calculate your footprint here are a few sites although there are plenty of them out there.Has anyone calculated theirs?I did this and came out above average……now I know I have work to do.
