Much focus has been given in the last decade about the need for citizens of developed countries to reduce the carbon footprint of their citizens in order to meet CO2 emission goals that climatology experts believe will mitigate the damage of anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change.
What Are Carbon Footprints?
Carbon footprint refers to the total amount of CO2 directly & indirectly produced by humans as a result of our daily activities, expressed in units of tons per year. These activities include everything we commonly do in modern society: driving, flying, using computers/other electronics, and the production of electricity. But many people are also shocked to learn that carbon footprint is also impacted by activities we rarely consider such as producing beef or making plastic bottles.
There are many calculators available to help homeowners and businesses track their carbon footprint allowing us all to see how small changes in our lifestyle today can have a big impact on tomorrow.
