CARBON FOOTPRINT
Whenever we burn fossil fuels such as petrol, gas and coal, to support our lifestyle, carbon dioxide (CO2) is released into the atmosphere. A carbon footprint is a measure of CO2 emissions that result from various activities of an individual during a given time period. It is the total amount of CO2 that your lifestyle produces. It indicates your impact on the environment through CO2 emissions. Environmental issues such as global warming are also linked to CO2 emissions. Modern lifestyle demands the usage of fossil fuels for transport, electricity and other purposes. In many countries, electricity is generated by burning coal. Driving a car burns fuel, which in turn releases CO2. All these factors are taken into consideration when calculating the carbon footprint of an individual.
Humans contribute a lot to climate change and Global warming. Even though you might not think it small everyday things you do significantly contribute to global climate change. Take this carbon footprint calculator test to see just how much energy you waste.
