The concept of a carbon footprint is based on the idea that many of our activities and products release carbon that was formerly stored in carbon sinks (coal, oil, natural gas, and biomass). This large amount of carbon is then released into the atmosphere through the process of combustion and the creation of many consumer products. We often don’t think much about the amount of carbon that our activities produce.
Calculate your carbon footprint with the Carbon Calculator (Links to an external site.). You may not know exact amounts for some of the categories, but you should estimate as well as you can. When you have filled out the calculator page, submit it and it will return your individual carbon footprint. If you live in the United States, you might consider using the EPA’s Carbon Footprint Calculator.
Research how significantly you can lower your carbon footprint by making changes in your home. Are these options financially feasible and sustainable?
