Using the CO2: What are Your Emissions form, linked in the assignment area, calculate your family’s emission. Provide the completed worksheet in your assignment and indicate your family’s total emission as well as the per person emission (i.e., divide the total by the number of individuals in your family). (2 marks)

Based on ONE of the fictitious families listed below, calculate the CO2 emission for the family you have selected using the same form as in #1. Again, provide the completed worksheet in your assignment and indicate the family’s total emission as well as the per person emission. Indicate the family you have chosen on the form. (2 marks)

Comment on the differences and similarities between your family’s CO2 emission and the emission of the fictitious family. (3 marks) Based on the Kyoto Protocol, the carbon dioxide emission levels per person should be no more than 5000 kilograms per person. How does your emission and the family you selected, relate to this level? (3 marks) What impact would the addition of this greenhouse gas have on the greenhouse effect, as discussed in the instructional content and readings? (3 marks)

A major difference between North American and European automobiles is fuel efficiency. A Volkswagen Touareg for the North American market has a fuel efficiency of 24 mpg or 9.8L/100 km., while the same car for the European market has a fuel efficiency of 28.6 mpg or 8.2L/100 km. Based on an average of 20,000 km (13,000 city and 7,000 highway) driven in a given year, how much more CO2 is emitted by the North American version of the car? Provide the calculation in your answer.
