Carbon Footprint briefly defined is the amount of CO2 left behind after any human activity. They can be classified into primary and secondary footprints. [ (McLean 2008) ] Primarily‚ it is the direct emission of CO2 from burning fossil fuels or any kind of fuels. They are considered the main and biggest source of CO2 emission‚ thus the having biggest Carbon Footprints. [ (McLean 2008) ] The CO2 emissions from all products and their life-cycles are considered as secondary footprints. The life-cycle

fuels‚ substandard emission techniques‚ and an ever growing population all play an intricate role of raising Earth’s overall temperature. Each can be linked through one key adversary‚ carbon dioxide. Rising CO2 levels are almost the sole reason temperatures are rising at such an alarming rate. Aside from water vapor‚ carbon dioxide is a chief ingredient in our Greenhouse Effect stew. It’s everywhere. It emits from our cars‚ it flies from our smokestacks‚ and it empties from our lungs. All of Earth is

Carbon Sink A carbon sink is a natural or artificial reservoir that accumulates and stores some carbon-containing chemical compound for an indefinite period. The process by which carbon sinks remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere is known as carbon sequestration. Public awareness of the significance of CO2 sinks has grown since passage of the Kyoto Protocol‚ which promotes their use as a form of carbon offset. The main natural sinks are: Absorption of carbon dioxide by the oceans

Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless‚ odorless‚ and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. It is toxic to humans and animals when encountered in higher concentrations. Every year‚ at least 430 people die in the U. S. from accidental CO poisoning. It is also produced in normal animal metabolism in low quantities. In the atmosphere‚ it has a role in the formation of ground-level ozone. Carbon monoxide consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom‚ connected by a triple

A carbon footprint is "the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization‚ event or product" [1]. For simplicity of reporting‚ it is often expressed in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide‚ or its equivalent of other GHGs‚ emitted. The concept name of the carbon footprint originates from ecological footprint discussion.[2] The carbon footprint is a subset of the ecological footprint and of the more comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). An individual‚ nation‚ or organization’s
