Before starting the project, my group and I recognised that on the information sheet, the thing the client was looking to get out of this project was reducing his carbon footprint. He believed travelling was a large cause of his carbon footprint level. Therefore, we decided that transport and travel would be the sector we would focus on primarily, finding sustainable alternatives for Mr. Alchin in terms of local, regional and global travel.

Based on an estimate of the information our client gave us, we filled out an ecological footprint test to summarise our findings to him. We found that 67% of his ecological footprint is caused by his carbon footprint. Transport and mobility was the biggest sector that contributed to his carbon footprint. I think that we are going to recommend using public transport more often on weekends and holidays, since the client driving to school is non-negotiable.
