My Carbon Footprint

Carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by direct people activities or indirect. It is expressed in tons of carbon dioxide (co2) equivalently. My carbon footprint is 8.58 tonnes per annum. This essay will examine my carbon footprint problems and discuss accompanying my solutions.

Many problems could result from carbon footprint. One of the biggest is driving by my car. I use my one a lot to cut long distance which is more than 45 km per one day and that causes atmospheric pollution. Energy consumption depends on fuel consumption and driving distance. Another predicament is operation of my computer. My laptop consumes oil, gas or coal to generate electricity and by that operation, I also generate co2 because I use natural oil to run my compute and a house. A final difficulty is using papers. Papers are produced from wood which is one source of co2. Different types of papers have different amount of gas emissions.

There are several things I can do to deal with my carbon footprint. One answer is limiting use of my car. I could contribute to reduce emissions by using my bike to travel short distance and that will less burning process of fuel. I can also use small and Toyota cars like Corolla which has less consuming of fuel. A second solution is to start recycling system. It is better to separate my trash baskets like one basket for papers and second for plastic bottles.

To conclude, Small changes in our life style could help to reduce emission and global warming because it is mostly direct human activities. The carbon footprint can be more efficient and effective, if we cooperate to find and apply possible solutions.

Those pictures are my contributing to reduce Carbon Emissions.
