What is Carbon Footprint and Why Is It So Important?

by | Dec 18, 2019 | Uncategorized | 16,541 comments

By definition, carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide and other carbon compounds emitted into the atmosphere due to the consumption of fossil fuels by a particular person, group, etc. Although greenhouse gases do occur naturally, human activity is the greatest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Your carbon footprint — or your impact on the environment — measures the greenhouse gases that you have created. The good news is that we can become accountable for the greenhouse gasses we omit and make the necessary changes to reduce our carbon footprint to levels that are safe but the bad news is that we are running out of time. Greenhouse gasses effect the climate because they keep heat in the earth’s atmosphere. When the “extra” heat is retained like at the current levels, we have global warming: melting the ice caps releases tons of previously frozen water into the oceans, causing them to rise and simultaneously increase the water’s temperature which has a drastic effect on the food chain (which we are dependent on) as well as flooding and intensifying other weather patterns. In our first article, we cited 6 examples of what you can do immediately to become a Climate Change Fighter. In our future articles we will, each month, examine a specific part of the Climate Crisis through factual analysis and offer explicit actions that you can take to reduce your carbon footprint and help to sustain the wonderful planet that fosters and nourishes all living forms of life.

    Hiya! Quick question that’s completely off topic.
    Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
    My web site looks weird when browsing from my
    iphone 4. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this issue.
    If you have any recommendations, please share. With thanks!

    My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net
    from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a year and am concerned
    about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    At this time it sounds like Expression Engine is the preferred
    blogging platform out there right now. (from
    what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video
    to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about,
    why waste your intelligence on just posting videos
    to your site when you could be giving us something enlightening to

    Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just
    sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying
    your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but
    I’m still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for newbie blog writers?
    I’d genuinely appreciate it.
