2013 Carbon Footprint Until very recently‚ most people had never heard of a “carbon footprint.” Now‚ all of a sudden‚ the phrase is hard to avoid. In an age of slick slogans‚ fast fashions and fickle fads it’s easy to assume that this is just another quirky passing gimmick. But it could well be the most important concept of our time.

Carbon Footprint The term “carbon footprint” refers to the amount of carbon dioxide we emit into the air every year. C02 is produced by many sources and is the gas responsible for Global warming and alarming changes in our climate. As we use our resources‚ the negative impact on our environment increases. The more C02 emitted in the air the more our ozone layer is affected. C02 is a natural gas and is always being emitted and absorbed to and from the air. There is a certain amount of carbon
