What is your Carbon Footprint?
Basically anything you do that results in an increase in the concentration of green house gasses being emitted into the
Earth’s atmosphere, for example driving a car, using electricity, etc. These types
of actions add up to make your Carbon Footprint.
Through more eco-conscious living, you can reduce
your Carbon Footprint and play your part in decreasing the effects of global warming.
Global
warming results in the collapsing of the Earth’s ecosystem, as well as
having negative effects on the human race, e.g. resource conflicts, increase in war, mass immigration, famine, disease and other human tragedies.
Before you are able to reduce your carbon footprint, you must first calculate it. Once
you have done this you can develop ways to decrease it. To calculate your Carbon
Footprint, you can use Global Footprint Network calculator.
