A carbon footprint measures the effects caused by humans on earth. it is one way to measure people impact on the climate in their daily activates. the two major components of this problem are transportation and electricity. In my own life i spend about 2.66% carbon every day, it looks nothing but imagine if the all world had the same what would happen?
In my daily life there are some problems that increase my footprint. One of these problems is that every day I eat lots of processed foods and meat which need a long time to cook and more energy. Another thing is the use of the car. I go to college and return home five days a week, Also my weekend journey also causes air pollution. Playing games on the computer and watching TV for a long time to consumes a lot of energy. My house is a large house with many bedrooms and a lawn, that's equal a lot of energy. What is the solution?
Although there are several problems regarding my footprint there are also some solutions. One of these solutions is to turn off lights, appliances and electronics after use. Another thing is to travel on foot, bicycle or on public transportation instead of using this would decrease the number of vehicles whom locally grown food. Yet another thing is to recycle materials whom takes less energy instead of using raw materials. All this would shrink footprint to a safety and natural size.
As you can see, Carbon Footprint is an important issue which we must take seriously in our life. The decrease in this problem is a human responsibility.
