Measuring and Reducing

Your Global Warming Impact

Free Public Talk with Susan Lincke, PhD: 1:30-2:30

Sunday August 8


Oil spills, higher gas prices, and earlier Chicago springs are all symptoms of environmental and energy problems that relate to global warming and excessive energy dependence.  We can realize our own responsibility and do our part - and not just wait for politicians to try to solve the global warming and other environmental and energy crises.  Learn how to calculate and reduce *your* carbon footprint, to help our beleaguered planet out … for the good of our future and our children! 

The 3 top sources of global warming are:
1) power/heating,
2) agriculture, and
3) transportation

This talk describes how to measure your global warming impact and reviews high impact steps to live more green.  You might be surprised by the impact you
can have - and the side benefits of living green... including lower costs, improved health, increased security, and more comfort!

Susan Lincke PhD, associate professor of computer science at University of Wisconsin-Parkside, has worked to optimize her energy efficiency in all three top areas: home energy, food consumption, and transportation.  Most recently she had an energy audit performed on her home and achieved lower heating bills of 40-50%. Businesses use statistics to measure performance, and Susan devised a spreadsheet to measure personal global warming impact relatively easily.
