But your parents tell me they really want to adopt a new pet. Can you help them, $name? [[Yes! But... Who are you?]]

Haven't I introduce myself? I'm sorry! My apologies! My name is (text-colour:orange)[Lasteran], (text-colour:yellow)[the Pet Officer] from the municipal court. Nice to meet you, $name.

[[Wait! Upcoming assessment? What is that?]]

Oh, how many pets do you have? [[Wait a second... Who are you?]]

So you want to adopt a new pet! [[Yes! But... Who are you?]]

Lesteran: According to experts, pets leave a massive carbon footprint on the planet. It's estimated that an average-size cat generates(bg:orange)['' 310kg''] of CO2e per year, while an average-size dog emits(bg:orange)['' 770kg'']. For a bigger barker, this figure even goes up to (bg:orange)['' 2500kg'']!

[[This is unfair!]] [[You know what? I like this idea! I want to hear more about this carbon footprint assessment.]]

Lesteran: First of all, I would like know if you know what is “(bg:orange)[Carbon footprint]". You choose: (bg:#ced4da)[1. [[The amount of carbon someone produces.]] 2. [[A catchall term for the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) someone is responsible for.]] 3. [[A catchall term for the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) someone or something is responsible for.]] 4. [[The amount of carbon someone/thing produces.]]]

Lasteran: I'm afraid this is not the most accurate answer. [[Choose again.]]

Lasteran: Exactly! Our pets produce greenhouse gas and create significant amount of carboon footprint like us. Therefore, do you think we should be respobsible for the greenhouse gas (GHS) our pets produce? You choose: (bg:#ced4da)[[Wait a second, when we say greenhouse gas all the time, what do we include?]] (bg:#ced4da)[[[Fair enough then. Tell me what should I do to pass this assessment.]]]

Lasteran: I'm afraid this is not the most accurate answer. [[Choose again.]]

Lasteran: Good try, but I'm afraid this is not the most accurate answer. [[Choose again.]]

Lasteran: For this assessment, I will be with you for one day and observe your behaviors. I will rank your responsibility level depends on your actions, then decide if you can pass the pet assessment and unlock secret badges. Let me know if you are ready for an assessment. See you soon, $name.

You: My family members use this timer for cooking to prevent we overcook and waste gas. Lasteran: Brilliant! I will mark this down on your assessment: Pet Credit+3. (align:"=><=")+(box:"=X=")[(set:$point to $point+3)(bg:#fcc419)[^^|Your Pet Credit= $point|^^]] --- Here are some strategies you can apply to reduce energy use regarding the food: 1. Eat low on the food chain. This means eating mostly fruits, veggies, grains, and beans. Livestock—meat and dairy—is responsible for 14.5 percent of manmade global greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from feed production and processing and the methane (25 times more potent than CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere over 100 years) that beef and sheep belch out. Every day that you forgo meat and dairy, you can reduce your carbon footprint by 8 pounds—that’s 2,920 pounds a year. 2. Choose organic and local foods that are in season. Transporting food from far away, whether by truck, ship, rail or plane, uses fossil fuels for fuel and for cooling to keep foods in transit from spoiling. 3. Buy foodstuffs in bulk when possible using your own reusable container. 4. Reduce your food waste by planning meals ahead of time, freezing the excess and reusing leftovers. 5. Use eco-mode/eco-setting of the dishwasher. 6. If shopping for appliances, lighting, office equipment or electronics, look for Energy Star products, which are certified to be more energy efficient. Go to [[My bedroom]]

You: I use this timer to limit my overall shower time so that I don't lose my sense of time in the warm water, which can lead to excess gas and water. Lasteran: Brilliant!

(align:"=><=")+(box:"=X=")[(set:$point to $point+0)(bg:#fcc419)[^^|Your Pet Credit= $point|^^]] --- Here are some strategies you can apply to reduce energy use in your outdoor space: 1. Try using outdoor solar lights. They are easy to install and enhance the property safty. 2. Plant vegetables and fruit tress instead of classic garden flowers. The harvest may not support the whole family but transporting food around the world remains one of the largest uses of energy supply. 3. Be careful with your recycling bins: * Look for a number inside a triangle on the bottom of plastic containers. These indicate what kind of resin was used, and whether the container is recyclable in your province or territory (check your local website for accepted numbers). * Empty and rinse food containers before putting them in the recycling bin. A dirty container can spoil a whole batch of recyclables. * Recycle paper and steel and tin cans. * Before throwing away, ask: Can I re-use or repair this? * Donate working electronics. * Recycle broken electronics. Many local electronics stores offer free recycling programs for old goods. * Collect dry cell batteries. You should be able to recycle them through your local municipality. * Don’t put non-recyclables in the recycling bin. Garden hoses, sewing needles, propane tanks or cylinders, aerosol cans that aren’t empty, hazardous waste and syringes, broken glass and broken light bulbs should all be avoided. It's near the end of the assessment. Go to [[Front door]].

You: We play the musical instrument instead of listen to the eletronical devices to save energy. Lasteran: Emm, this is interesting. I would always like to learn a musical instrument. Good for you. Pet Credit+1. (align:"=><=")+(box:"=X=")[(set:$point to $point+1)(bg:#fcc419)[^^|Your Pet Credit= $point|^^]] --- Here are some strategies you can apply to reduce energy use in the living room: 1. Turn down the heat. Use a programmable or smart thermostat, if you have one. Keep blinds closed to help keep temperature stable inside. 2. Turn off lights and appliances when you’re not using them. 3. Turn off appliances at the power outlet to reduce even more energy. Putting them to sleep is second best. 4. Stream movies through your smart TV, not your game console. Smart TVs and their plugins use just a few watts to stream movies, Mr. Horowitz said, but if you use your game console, energy use is about 10 times higher, because they aren’t optimized to play films. 5. Buy a laptop, not a desktop computer. Laptops take less energy to charge and run. Go to [[Kitchen]]

These indicate what kind of resin was used, and whether the container is recyclable in your province or territory (check your local website for accepted numbers). * Empty and rinse food containers before putting them in the recycling bin. A dirty container can spoil a whole batch of recyclables. * Recycle paper and steel and tin cans. * Before throwing away, ask: Can I re-use or repair this? * Donate working electronics. * Recycle broken electronics. Many local electronics stores offer free recycling programs for old goods. * Collect dry cell batteries. You should be able to recycle them through your local municipality. * Don’t put non-recyclables in the recycling bin. Garden hoses, sewing needles, propane tanks or cylinders, aerosol cans that aren’t empty, hazardous waste and syringes, broken glass and broken light bulbs should all be avoided.

You: We plant vegetables and fruit tress instead of classic garden flowers. The harvest can't support the whole family yet but we are doing better each year. Lasteran: Great effort! Transporting food around the world remains one of the largest uses of energy supply. I also recommend planting some herbs by yourself and most of them grow really well in home gardens.

Lasteran: Haha don't worry $name. This answer don't count towards your pet credit. I asked just out of curiousity. (align:"=><=")+(box:"===XX===")[<style> img{ max-width:100%; max-height:100%; } </style> <img src="https://images.nightcafe.studio/jobs/2MGyePWo7YKghB7xdsZu/2MGyePWo7YKghB7xdsZu--3--mlgha.jpg?tr=w-1600,c-at_max" />]But in speaking of the energy-saving , because electricity increasingly comes from natural gas and renewable energy, transportation became the major source of North America's CO2 emissions in 2017. An average car produces about five tons of CO2 each year although this varies according to the type of car, its fuel efficiency and how it’s driven. Making changes in how you get around can significantly cut your carbon budget. --- Here are some strategies you can apply to reduce energy use and carbon emission: 1. Drive less. Walk, take public transportation, carpool, rideshare or bike to your destination when possible. This not only reduces CO2 emissions, it also lessens traffic congestion and the idling of engines that accompanies it. 2. Help your family take care of the car. Keeping tires properly inflated can increase fuel efficiency by three percent; and ensuring that car is properly maintained can increase it by four percent. Remove any extra weight from the car. 3. When doing errands, try to combine them to reduce the driving. 4. Use traffic apps like Waze to help avoid getting stuck in traffic jams. 5. On longer trips, turning on the cruise control can save gas. 6. Use less air conditioning in car, even when the weather is hot. 7. If the family is shopping for a new car, consider purchasing a hybrid or electric vehicle. But do factor in the greenhouse gas emissions from the production of the car as well as its operation. Some electric vehicles are initially responsible for more emissions than internal combustion engine vehicles because of manufacturing impacts; but they make up for it after three years.
