YoungHi, I'm Young, second year ITP student. My background is computer science and engineering, I worked for network software company for three years before coming ITP. I lived Japan, the best energy efficient country among developed countries I think, for 7 years. The first impression of United States for a trip in 1997 was totally energy wasting country because the buildings inside were too cold and some of them even opened the main entrance in hot summer. And, my hometown Seoul's air pollution is really getting worse recently because of development of China. I'd like to think about green issues and sustainable issues to give better environment to our future generations. My personal website is risknfun.com and I will use one of categories on my blog for this class. Young's Sustainable Practices Earth Day Footprint Quiz result: total footprint 11 acres Carbon Counter result: I emit 7.99 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. compare to the national avg. 3.08/11.16 (home), 0/5.02 (auto), 4.91/0.46 (air). recommended monthly donation amount: $7.99. The Big Here Quiz result: 13 points for NY, 23 points for Seoul, my hometown Guardian Unlimited Environment - Environment portal of Guardian, what can we do? section is interesting. (I couldn't edit the link page of ITP sustainability because of lack of permission.) |
