How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
By: Nathan Che
The carbon footprints lead to global warming, which happened back on Earth.
Now we don’t want to pollute and destroy our new planet, do we? So I’m
going to explain how we can avoid that from happening. First of all, avoid driving
too much. Only use your car when absolutely necessary, and if you’re thinking,
“I need to drive to school!” there are things in this world called bicycles. Also, it
will give you exercise, so you’re killing two birds with one stone. Second, use
efficient lighting, or use energy saving lights. Additionally, turn off your lights
when you’re not in the room, even if you’re out of the room for even a
second. Along with the exercising idea, eat more organic food. So basically, be
healthy and the world will follow your example.
Icarus Day
By: Hutton Howard
Icarus Day is a time of celebration for the day that this planet was first colonized.
We recognize these people by shooting off fireworks that spell the name Icarus
when they explode. Also, on this day we remember our old planet, Earth, and
what we did to it. We shut down all power and choose to go super green for the
next month.

The average distance from Icarus (Kepler-22b) to its host star Kepler 22 is about 15% less than the
distance from Earth to the Sun but the brightness of Kepler-22 (Sun) is about 25% less than that of our
Sun. This combination of a shorter average distance from the star and a lower luminosity create a
moderate surface temperature at that distance.

How Have the Cycles Changed
By: Nathan Che
Since our planet has more land and less water than
Earth, the carbon and water cycles have changed from
Earth. The water cycle has decreased because there is
less water on our planet. Also, the carbon cycle happens
more in the land and air than the water because there’s
more land. However, the cycles have not changed
drastically because our planet is not too much different.

What is on our planet?
By Nathan Che
We chose to bring farm animals because they provide the most. Pigs provide
meat and chickens provide meat and eggs. Also, cows provide meat and dairy.
Bringing those animals will actually benefit us, and bringing other animals would
have done nothing for us. For the plants, we brought grass so that our animals
could graze and gain energy. We brought bushes over so that we could grow
some berries for bonus food, and we brought trees for wood and additional
oxygen.
