Carbon Footprint By Jack Lin
Carbon footprints are the carbon emissions people leave behind doing their daily activities
Activities that emit carbon are:◦ Driving a car◦ Keeping the lights on◦ Operating electrical appliances
These activities emit carbon because they burn natural fuels and a byproduct of natural fuels is carbon
Carbon footprints can cause the climate to change and environmental changes so it is best to reduce our carbon emissions
What are Carbon Footprints?
Buy organic and local- This way the foods you consume were either grown eco-friendly and locally
Go native- Use native plant species to landscape around your home or business
Take a direct flight- If you need to travel by airplane, try taking a direct flight when at all possible
Keep your car- if your older-model car is in good condition, you're better off keeping it in good running condition
Use cold water- No, not in the shower... but maybe in the washer. Try using cold water to launder things that don't need to be cleaned in hot or warm water
Way to reduce carbon
New technology for reducing carbon emissions.
