What Is A Carbon Footprint?
We all create CO2 emissions in our everyday activities, which add up to our carbon footprint, or the total amount of CO2 (and other greenhouse gases) emitted in a year. When you drive your car, charge your phone, or turn on your lights, CO2 is released into the atmosphere, contributing to your individual carbon footprint. In fact, any action that requires the burning of fossil fuels releases large amount of CO2.
