1) We voted for things that were more efficient and used less energy to lower our carbon footprint. We also tried to gain public approval by voting for some things they liked. 2) We didn’t want to get voted out of office, and we wanted to make sure everyone in the country and from other countries were satisfied. These factors influenced our decisions. 3) They re- elected us twice and then they began to lose their interest and we lost their support. 4) Our approval ratings were fairly high until our third round of playing the game because we voted for something the people didn’t like even though it was more energy efficient and saved CO2. 5) It was realistic because it shows how not everybody will agree with decisions that are made in office even if they reduce the carbon levels.

 * 1) We tried to choose things that were about going green. Things like building wind farms and cutting back on fossil fuel use. We would also agree to less CO2 emissions during the meetings.
 * 2) The popularity of the people was a factor. Another factor was what the outcome would be, the cost, and how much money we would make. Also when some disaster would occur we would have to change our decisions.
 * 3) After a few tries we won our election
 * 4) I had almost 100% approval ratings throughout, I chose things that the people would like.
 * No, I think it would be a lot harder and the consequences would be a lot worse.

1. We chose cards that had a high level of approval and a low level of pollution.

2. The approval of the card, the cost, the pollution and the amount we could use.

3. We were kicked out of office.

4. They were low and lowered every time which got us to 0%.

5. No, we were kicked out of office really quickly and in real life, it takes a lot to get a president voted out of office. But also, the president probably has to choose from the choices we were given. 1. What policies or actions did you take to address climate change? The amount of CO2 each object had and how much water each object had. 2. What factors influenced your decisions? We looked at the green lines and the red lines and determined which ones would be better for the enviornment, 3. What were your election results? We did good the first 2 decades, but then eventually the other representatives didn't agree with us so we got voted off. 4. Describe your approval ratings and reasons for those ratings during negotiations. Most of the ratings were in between approve and disagree and some were on the approve side and then it changed and everyone said that they didn't agree with us anymore. 5. Do you think this challenge was realistic? Why or why not? No because some of the things that we had to choose from aren't as bad as the game made it seem.
