A carbon footprint is a measure of the amount of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (Co2), emitted through human activities. It represents the total impact an individual, organization, or product has on the environment in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon footprints are typically measured in metric tons of Co2 equivalent (Co2e) per year.

To calculate a carbon footprint, various factors are taken into consideration, including energy consumption (electricity, heating, and transportation), waste generation, and lifestyle choices. The main sources of carbon emissions are the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas, which release Co2 into the atmosphere.

Reducing carbon footprints is crucial for mitigating climate change and minimizing the negative impacts on the environment. This can be achieved through energy conservation, using renewable energy sources, adopting sustainable transportation methods, reducing waste, and making environmentally conscious choices in daily life.

Carbon offsetting is another approach to address carbon footprints. It involves investing in projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions, such as renewable energy projects or reforestation initiatives. By purchasing carbon offsets, individuals or organizations can compensate for their own emissions by supporting projects that have a positive environmental impact.

Consumer tip...be planet friendly, think ‘necessary?’ or ‘unnecessary?’ when shopping.
Stop watching the TV shopping channels. They have great salesmen/women and they
will sell you anything, literally anything!! (watch the very informative ‘STUFF’ videos).
