Carbon Footprint

Carbon footprint is the measuring of carbon dioxide in the air produced by humans.For example , the burning up of fossil fuels which create gases by heating or electricity.

I measured my carbon footprint by taking the quizzes on these 2 websites : http://footprint.wwf.org.uk & http://www.myfootprint.org/ . I then calculated both numbers and divided them by two which gave me a score of 6.775 number of earths .It showed me through pie graphs and line graphs the perecentage of each consumption i used globally (travel or food) and compared them with each other.

A couple of ways to reduce carbon footprints are easy and simply to follow.First, one has to take the quiz on the website and see how much he is consuming to be aware of he situation.Second,using better alternatives of electricity such as renewable sources to save electicity for example using fluorescent light bulbs instead of the old bulbs that use a lot of energy.Next, not wasting energy would reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air for example, switching off the lights when not needed.Last,buying organic food would reduce too the amount of carbon dioxide produced.
