What is Your Footprint

Carbon footprints are the talk of the time and people seem to be more concerned about the amount of GHG emissions being emitted into the atmosphere, in particular carbon which contributes to climate change. There are numerous carbon calculators available on the web, some which analyze your personal footprint while others look at carbon footprints of entire nations.

These tools were created to raise awareness on the issue and to simulate change. As you are probably aware, North America has an astounding footprint in comparison to most other continents in the world. As Americans, it is our responsibility to bring this statistic down by knowing our numbers and living lighter on the earth.
