What does carbon footprint mean?
A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the atmosphere mainly climate change which we individually produce. In other words the amount of greenhouse gases produced on a daily basis through burning fossil fuels for electricity, transportation and from other well known issues.
The individual carbon footprint is the greenhouse gas emissions which I’m responsible for. I had measured mine in the http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/ I got 3.76.
The three ways I contribute most to greenhouse gases:
1-food = 12%
2-travel=43%
3-stuff=33%
My personal footprint is 3.76. Of course companies, institutions (e.g. ADMC), and countries all have footprints. According to “Heroes of the UAE”, the UAE has the largest per capita footprint in the whole world.
What can I do to reduce my carbon footprint?
The highest main factor on my footprint was Travel. I don't travel many times. Approximately twice annually. The second factor on my footprint was stuff. This factor I think is important for me and I can't reduce it, I'm intersted in electronic devices, I usually look for the new. However the lowest factor is the food. This factor is important and I like to change the kinds of food. Finally I can reduce the travel and a little in food.
