What does carbon footprint mean?
Carbon footprint is a measure of carbon amount “CO2” released in combustion of fossil fuels as part of business daily operations. All human activity has a carbon footprint. Hence, it also measure the impact of our activities on the environment (# of greenhouse gases produced).
Typically, activities, for example, driving a car, traveling on an airplane consume energy. Most of this energy come because of the fossil fuels burning. The ineffective use of transport or car create lots of unnecessary CO which make the climate change, changing our lifestyle.
What can each of us do about out carbon
Ways to reduce our daily Carbon footprint:
1. Plant trees and cultivate more.
2. Save electricity by turning off the cables and applicants you are not using it.
3. Recycle all you can.
4. Buy goods with less packaging.
5. Use the public transportation instead of driving your car.
Measure your own carbon footprint: I have measured my carbon footprint and these were the results from the site:
Your footprint is 3.13 planets
• 20% FOOD
• 30% TRAVEL
• 20% HOME
• 30% STUFF
Equating to an Ecological Footprint of 5.63 hectares
We have also calculated your carbon footprint, which is 13.98 tonnes per annum
