Homework (all classes):

Part 1: Use the link on the right "Calculating your impact on global warming" to calculate your impact. You are asked for your utility bills, if you are a boarding student this is a great chance to call home and talk to your folks.

Part 1: Complete the worksheet "Where's all the snow?" In case you manage to lose it, here are the questions and links (remember: cite your sources!)

Assignment: Use the following websites (and any others that you find) to complete the following questions. For each question, you must write the URL (or source) for where the information came from. Writing “google” is unacceptable.
