terms of the amount of carbon dioxide
generated by the combustion of
fossil fuels.

Carbon Emissions:
Carbon emission occurs when carbon is released into our atmosphere. Carbon
can be released through many substances. Mostly fossil fuels; such as oil, gas, and coal. These fossil fuels are
burned by vehicles and planes. The manufacturing processes of many
consumer supplies and by the heating, cooling, and electricity for your home.

Carbon Footprint Calculator:
While we move about our daily lives (commuting, sheltering our families, and eating). Each of us contributes to the greenhouse gas emissions
that are causing climate change (global warming). There are many things each of us, as
individuals, can do to reduce our carbon emissions. The choices we make in our homes, our travel, the food we eat, and what we buy
and throw away all influence our carbon footprint and can help guarantee a steady
climate for future generations.
