Subject: Evaluation of Exhibits/Programs about "Your Carbon Footprint"

ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology
Centers

Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related
institutions.

************************************************************************
*****

I am interested in evaluations of programs or exhibits which deal with
"estimating your carbon footprint."

Our own exhibit on this topic is a screen-based activity that has
visitors input data about their lifestyle (i.e., # of cars, diet, home
heating and cooling practices) and then tells them their carbon
footprint.   We are looking to evaluate this exhibit, and since it is a
popular activity that has been around for a few years (in exhibits and
otherwise), I am hoping to utilize and build from what has already been
done.

Thanks for any and all ideas,

Heather
