What Is Carbon Footprint?
- Sum total of the impact that a person, organization, or product has on the ecology
- Calculated as the amount of carbon dioxide or its equivalent greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere
- This can be in any form starting from land clearance to fuel used for transportation to even the day to day consumption of electricity
- Every person has a certain carbon footprint
Offsetting Your Carbon Footprint
An average American will release the equivalent of 20 tons of CO2 per year, and is the highest per capita output in the world
- World average of around 3.8 tons per year, and you’ll get the picture
- There are many countries where the average carbon footprint is less than 100 kg of CO2 per year
