Equally if not more important as the measurement of our waistline or the value of our bank account is the size of our Carbon Footprint. The carbon footprint, measured in CARBON DIOXIDE units, calculates the impact human beings have on the environment in terms of the amount of GREENHOUSE GASES produced.
Both our direct emissions of CARBON DIOXIDE, like the burning of fossil fuels and the indirect emissions of CARBON DIOXIDE as a result of the manufacture and breakdown of everyday products are calculated into the Carbon Footprint measurement. Commonplace activities like eating red meat and drinking bottled water are slowly but surely contributing to the devastation of our environment.
