The RET teachers took a field trip to the WRFS in Denton to look at some of the research taking place at the station.
We had GPS trackers in each of the vehicles so that we can have data from each car that we took. I uploaded the GPS from the trip in the afternoon and was looking at how it matched up nearly identically to the google map we had used for directions.
We also did research on how to you actually calculate a carbon footprint and can we isolate it to just transportation, and not factor in home energy usage. There was some apps for smartphones and computer programs that help you calaculate your footprint and give suggestions to help you such as Stanford transportation calculator and icarpool which will actually calcuate your savings and CO2 reduction.
