Carbon Footprint

Tyler Bielawski

What is a Carbon Footprint?

• A carbon footprint is how the activities you partake in each day affect the atmosphere and the earths temperature.

• Examples: Transportation, Electricity, Heating

Is this a problem?

• Yes it is, a certain amount of carbon dioxide is healthy, but the problem is we are producing to much and it cannot absorb all of the suns rays, which heats the earth, and cause global warming.

Who causes a Carbon Footprint?

• It is not one individual in society, nor is it one country, it is the entire world, and the way everyone decides to live there live contributing to the Co2 release in the world.

How can we reduce our carbon footprint?

• There are many ways to reduce our carbon footprint including recycling, transport, holidays at home, bio fuels, and home grown food.

Recycling• If we reuse our material

for things such as packing, then factories will have to produce less reducing emissions.

Transport

• Planes and cars are a big part of carbon dioxide problems, if we reduce are use of them, that will also help.

Holidays at Home

• This ties into flying, if we travel less planes will be used less

Bio Fuels

• If we use plants such as sugar cane which produces ethanol, that can power cars and we can use that instead of fossil fuels.

Home Grown Foods

• If we grow our own food, we need to import less food into the country therefore exponentially decreasing the amount of emission through travel.

Conclusion

• Therefore if we use all of our resources available, and stop being spoiled, the earths carbon footprint can be drastically reduced due to willing cooperation.
