    A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases generated by an individual or organization. The average carbon footprint in the United States is 16 tons per person, one of the highest rates in the world, while the global average is 4 tons. To avoid a 2 degree Celsius rise in global temperatures, the average global carbon footprint needs to drop to under 2 tons per person by 2050.

    carbon footprint
    What is a carbon footprint?

    A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases


    (including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our
    actions.
    The average carbon footprint for a person in the United States is 16
    tons, one of the highest rates in the world. Globally, the average
    carbon footprint is closer to 4 tons. To have the best chance of
    avoiding a 2℃ rise in global temperatures, the average global
    carbon footprint per year needs to drop to under 2 tons by 2050.
    Lowering individual carbon footprints from 16 tons to 2 tons doesn’t
    happen overnight! By making small changes to our actions, like
    eating less meat, taking fewer connecting flights and line drying our
    clothes, we can start making a big difference.
