CARBON FOOTPRINT
Carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases
produced to directly and indirectly support human activities,
usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Your carbon footprint is the sum of all emissions of CO2 (carbon
dioxide), which were induced by your activities in a given time
frame. Usually, a carbon footprint is calculated for the time period
of a year.
Effects of Increased Carbon Footprint
- Carbon emissions cause climate change
- Carbon emissions contribute to urban air pollution
- Carbon emissions lead to toxic acid rain
- Carbon emissions add to coastal and ocean acidification
Manage your waste!
- Reuse any items that can be repurposed in other ways.
- Reduce the items you use. What can you do away with?
- Recycle items properly.
- Repair items, when possible, instead of buying new ones.
