"My Carbon Footprint"

A carbon footprint is the impact of human activities on the environment and measured terms of amount of green house gases produced. Every one live on the earth has a carbon footprint that creates the carbon dioxide and linked to climate change. My carbon footprint is 2.95 and it is divided into four parts which are travel 41%, stuff 26%, food 19% and home 14%.

There are many problems that create the carbon emissions and contribute to climate change as I mentioned above with four parts. One of these, I like to use my own car a lot alone to do my own business that creates the CO2 emissions. Secondly, I use inefficient brighter bulbs that give more light at my room. Thirdly, I don’t like to re-use anything to recycle.
As it has problems, it has also solutions. One of these, I can use the bus or train instead of using my own car to do my own business. Secondly, I have to work with the manufactures to phase out these types of inefficient brighter bulbs. Thirdly, I have to re-use shopping bags and plastic to reduce the packaging.

To conclude, my carbon footprint is shared to climate change as I mentioned above. Everyone has to know his impact on the environment to be a part of the community for reducing our planet’s CO2 emissions. As we know now, the weather got warmer because the increased CO2, so we have to think more about our future.
