2. The usability of
carbon dioxide
information
what is carbon literacy
and how can it be
improved?
3. The effect of
anthropological
greenhouse gases in the
global climate system has
been known and studied
for a long time.
But in 2007 something
happened
9. But, what is it two kilograms of co2? Is
it a lot? Is it little? How is it compared
to how much I saved because I
changed to low energy lamps?
There is a lack of
understanding carbon dioxide
information
10. A lack in understanding the numbers
and the scales
21. 1kg beef ≈ 2544 cups of tea
36kg beef ≈ 13639 carrots
2kg beef ≈ 735 km in train
1 hour flying ≈ 9 years running a fridge
5kg salmon ≈ 2141 carrots
22. Increasing carbon
literacy through
play and simulation.
Entertaining and
learning by doing.
23. As climate change is getting more
weight in our decisions we need a
better understanding of the
information available.
We need to make carbon dioxide
information usable at the moment
of decision.
24. We have presented some hints
towards it and explained our
intervention.
There is a lot of things we need
to understand and a lot of work
that can be done,
What is it then one kilo of CO2?
