Carbon Footprint


A Carbon footprint is our personal behaviour which effects global warming through the amount of our activities and CO2 production which is a very serious gas that damaging our environment.

There are many causes that lead us to this serious problem. First, we should take a look to our houses. Recent studies show that boiler and air conditioner are the most major causes of carbon emissions from our houses. Lighting is the next one, which produce a high carbon emission. Also papers and food also produce a certain amount of CO2.The final problem is that people don’t care about their planet because most of them don’t believe the truth about carbon footprint or global warming.

Turning to the solutions, we can use our effort to reduce this serious issue. At home, we should reduce the use of air conditioner that can help to reduce the CO2 emissions and bills. Also, televisions and other device should be turned off when we are not using them. Then, we should recycle our papers and other wasting goods to its recycling center.The final solution is that we have to travel by bus or train instead of cars or airplane because they emitted a great amount of CO2.

In the end, I have learned that carbon footprint is a very powerful shock of our results behaviour on global warming. We should work together hand by hand to stop this problem and make our planet more suitable for living for the next generation.
