What is my carbon footprint?

Answer:
Your carbon footprint refers to the amount of greenhouse

gases being produced by your household. You can use an online calculator to determine your carbon footprint.

In today's environmentally troubled world, we are increasingly aware of greenhouse gases, which are now known to be contributing to global warming.

The carbon footprint is measured in units of carbon dioxide expended as a result of your activity. Your carbon footprint has two parts - primary, which measures the burning of fossil fuels, and secondary, which measures the long-range effects of carbon dioxide emissions as the products you consume break down over time.

There are a number of carbon footprint calculators available to help you calculate your carbon footprint. Visit carbonfootprint.com to calculate your carbon footprint today.
