What is a carbon footprint

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:18:48 -0400

A carbon footprint is a measure of the amount of greenhouse gasses that you put up by the car you drive, the home you heat, the air conditioning you use, the light bulbs that you have in your house, and the appliances you plug in. In this country, most electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels; that is coal or natural gas. Your carbon footprint measures how much that electricity use in your home, for instance, causes carbon dioxide in a power plant to go up into the atmosphere. Your carbon footprint also measures how much the burning of gasoline in your car, which creates carbon dioxide out of the tailpipe, causes a build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Your carbon footprint might measure the amount of influence you have on carbon dioxide through your air travel, because aeroplanes burn oil based products as well. So, through a carbon footprint you can get a cumulative picture of what your effect on global warming is; what your contribution is, and that way you can start thinking of how to reduce it, measure for measure, and action for action.
