In order to understand carbon footprint, it is first necessary to understand the concept of carbon emissions. The primary causes of global warming are the greenhouse gas emissions that are a byproduct of the burning of fossil fuels. Since the industrial revolution, both the concentration and quantities of these greenhouse gases in our atmosphere have increased rapidly, leading to warming trends. Carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases that enter the atmosphere as a result of our activities. In other words, our individual or collective emission of greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate change.
The impact of climate change not only reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, but also affects all facets of our lives, including food production, water supply and quality, public health, energy generation and utilization, biodiversity, and more. With this in mind, it’s important for businesses to understand where their carbon emissions come from and how they can reduce them.
