Carbon footprint



Carbon footprint is the way of determining how people’s actions can change the environment in terms of the quantity of natural gases produced it is calculated in units of CO2. There is a survey the WWF website where you can find out your carbon footprint. My result was 4.68 which means. At this time my carbon footprint figure is very high which could create many problems for the environment. Now I will state some solutions that could decrease my carbon footprint.

There are many problems which make my carbon footprint large. First problem is that my travel score is 47% which is really awful; this is because my business requires me to travel a lot to many different destinations around the world global. Second I have an 8 cylinder car which consumes a lot of petrol and therefore increases my footprint. Finally, I am the type of person who buys a lot of electronic devices such as televisions, radios, mp3 players and computers.

There are a number of solutions which can help to decrease my carbon footprint. Second, I can drive cars which consume less petrol, and I can also use alternative forms of transportation such as public buses, last, I can spend less electronic and household appliances such as TV and MP3.

In conclusion, there are many problems related to my footprint but also many solutions. One of the solutions to help reduce the effect of global warming is to decrease our carbon footprint level so everybody should use public transportation.
