Carbon footprints


There are various ways to measure our impact on the earth from an environmental standpoint. One of these ways is by way of our carbon footprint. In the following report, I will define what a carbon footprint is, show how a carbon footprint is measured, show how I rank in comparison to other and finally I’ll make some suggestion as to how we can reduce our carbon footprint.

Let’s now look at how best to define what a carbon footprint is. A carbon footprint is a way to calculate our impact of greenhouse gases what we leave behind us when we use an item or do some activity need electricity or fossil fuel most likely transportation and Electricity.
For example, you can evaluate and calculate that by many of websites in the internet. Its can be measured by our daily activities, like our food type what we eat, by what we are traveling, home what we live in type and many other thing’s. (Andy).

I measured five persons including me. My classmate Juma Abdullh ranked first as the highest number by 10.08. the second person is Mohammed Alsulaimi ,I went in third, Mohammed Alkameeri is the fourth and Saeed AlMarhi is the least with 2.055. Now about my country ranks third after Qatar & Kuwait ( list of…capita).

There are many way’s to reduce our footprint nowadays, we can save in using electricity as switch off the lights and many of electronics items when we leave the home or not use it. Travel by using our foot or bicycle & use more public transportation. Eat more organically grown food. Recycling is very important to reduce the using of fossil fuel, (Guy Dauncey and B. Andres page 103 ) *

Finally, we really need to re-think in our life style to change many of our bad habit’s to make it useful habit’s to save our plant’s from an environmental standpoint.
