carbon footprint

A carbon footprint is a measure of our activities and rates it in a specific decimal number and it calculates the huge impact on our environment. In this essay, I will show you a way to calculate the level of your carbon footprint.

I measured my carbon footprint using two sites, which use a simple way by asking easy questions and calculating the amount of carbon you produce. I see myself a good producer compared to my classmates Abdullah who found 1.4 and hadi who found 1.68 which means that I should be more responsible about my activities because I got 2.74. On the other hand, I think that reducing my carbon foot print is not difficult and only needs some changes in my lifestyle.

Reducing Co2 is a very important issue. I think that as an individual I can reduce the amount of electricity used by using energy saving goods. Another thing is that we can change reduce Co2 by changing our lifestyle like using other transportation instead of using our own cars. Moreover, I should turn off the A/C and the lights and all the devises off whenever I leave my house or my office.

This is an essay to start thinking about how our lifestyle is increasing Co2 and how to deal with it and be creative in finding solutions to protect our environment think that the Governments should make rules to force industrial plants to reduce emissions of Co2.
