What's My Carbon Footprint?

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 12:26:07 -0400

According to the UK Carbon Trust a carbon footprint is "the total set of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, event or product". Whenever you use energy created from fossil fuels such as oil or coal, you're generating carbon emissions, which increases the level of greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere. Your carbon footprint is created by day-to-day corporate and personal activities such as driving, flying, heating or cooling your home or business and using electrical appliances. Even the products you purchase can contribute to your carbon footprint because of the energy that was required to create and transport them. There are many products available to help you reduce your carbon footprint, and in many cases reduce your costs, such as recycled products, efficient light bulbs, solar energy and more. Determining your carbon footprintâ€ means to measure the amount of greenhouse gases that you are adding into the atmosphere. The term was coined from carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas that is the main contributor to climate change. When you offset your personal carbon emissions, you are doing your much-needed part in helping to put an end to global warming and climate change. **End Summary** Topics: buy carbon credits]]> buy carbon offsets]]> carbon neutral]]> ecocar]]> carbon credit]]> carbon exchange]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Dr. Ken Pollock is EcoAid"'s Chief Executive Officer, sets the strategy for the company. www.ecoaidnow.com .
