You might have heard about a Carbon Footprint? But what does it mean exactly? In short, it’s just a way to measure the emissions of carbon dioxide, and other green house gases from different products.
There are many different ways to calculate carbon footprint emissions. First, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can be used, which gives a more accurate result. Second, it can also be measured from the emissions coming from the usage of fossil fuels, giving a general result.
When measuring emissions of a country, the total amount of emission is taken and divided by the number of people. Carbon emissions from individual are a second way of measuring the carbon footprint.
Green house effects and the increasing temperature of the world contribute to the Green House Gases, and most noticeably carbon dioxide and water vapor.
There are many ways to help reduce carbon footprint. One of these ways is to use our energy in more efficient way. Second, decrease our energy usage. Third, it might also help to change a few habit of ours.
In conclusion, the increase in carbon footprint is our cause, so the whole world needs to work together to help reduce it or even eliminate it.
