A carbon footprint is defined as the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual, organization, event, or product. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide produced through daily activities that rely on burning fossil fuels, like transportation, electricity usage, and waste disposal. Calculators can estimate a carbon footprint based on annual emissions over the past 12 months to illustrate how much an individual contributes to global warming. Various steps are being taken to increase awareness of carbon footprints, including organizations that provide carbon management services, educational TV shows, promoting green IT and energy audits, international protocols to control emissions, and global green movements.

of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person
It relates to the amount of
greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation etc. SOURCES OF GHGS Carbon dioxide gases which are release by vehicle, company etc Methane waste landfills, natural activity Nitrous oxide Chemical manufacture and agriculture Sulphur hexafluoride magnesium smelting, high voltage switchgear, electronic manufacturing. CARBON FOOTPRINT CALCULATOR Carbon footprint calculations are typically based on annual emissions from the previous 12 months.
It gives the answer that how much
you are contributing towards global warming.
