How much space does a kilogram of carbon dioxide occupy? (activity 7)

A kilogram of carbon dioxide (CO2) would fill a large family fridge and a tonne of greenhouse gases would fill a family home.

  1. Think of an endangered animal whose body volume is approximately equal in volume to a kilogram of carbon dioxide.

  2. Invent a slogan that links your animal and its habitat to greenhouse gas emissions (greenhouse gas emissions are contributing to global warming and threatening many species of animals).
