Carbon Footbrint.

Carbon footprint is a representation of the effect human activities have on the climate in terms of the total amount of greenhouse gases produced (measured in units of carbon dioxide). When I calculated my footprint average I got score of 17.5.

I found from the quiz that I do many thing affect in global warming. First, I don't recycle paper, plastic or metal which doesn’t help to reduce the waste in the country. Second, I used to use my car as a mean transport and a car is one of sources that cause air pollution. Finally, I eat a lot meat and dairy products which also effects. The only good thing that I could find from the results of my quiz is that I don’t heat my house a lot. One of the things I should do is try to recycle any material I have bought and encourage my family to do the same by using the recycle place near Spinney’s. Recycling is important because it helps to turn waste into useful materials. Another solution would be reduce using my car all the time and try to walking sometime or going with a friend by using public transport would be better. Finally making my diet healthier by cutting down on meat and dairy products and making vegetables the main source of my meal instead of meat products.

In conclusion, there are many problems related to my footprint but also many solutions. One of the solutions to help reduce the effect of global warming is to decrease our carbon footprint level. i hope that i can decreace my footprint even if it not that high.
