Carbon footprint



I measured my carbon footprint at http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/ & it was 3.27 planets.
Carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gasses caused by individuals, organizations and products. My carbon foot print is average compared to the class mates, the class ranged from a lowest of 2.80 planets to a highest of 5.10 planets. The process of measuring our carbon footprint was simple; we had to answer some questions that reflect our life. Whether we live a healthy life or a unhealthy life we still produce carbon. The questions included the type of food we eat, the way we travel and how we live and types of our houses and how any stuff we bought in the last 12 months. The most way I have contributed to greenhouse gasses are travel. We can reduce our carbon footprint by changing our style life, First we need to change the way we travel. Since the UAE has a weak public transportation system everyone uses his own car to go to work or travel around town. However I don’t think changing one person’s life style will have a different affect we all need to change our life style to have a slight change in the affect
