Abstract
Carbon footprint of 35 students in Environmental Science Program, Faculty of Science and Technology, Suan Sunandha
Rajabhat University (SSRU) were measured based on web base Thai carbon footprint calculator program of Thailand
Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO). The program was evaluated based on 3 criteria which are transportation,
food consumption and energy consumption by using electric appliances. The results revealed that students generate greenhouse
gas emissions between 0.39 – 8.25 tC02e/yr. An average GHG emission is approximately 2.16 t C02e/yr. The mainly student’s
activities generated greenhouse gas were using electric appliance 1.05 tC02e/yr follow by food consumption 0.7 tC02e/yr and
transportation 0.4 tC02e/yr, respectively. The greenhouse gas emission from transportation was less than other activities
according to the student’s lifestyle. Mostly, students in SSRU stay nearby the university area and travel by public transportation.
