My Carbon Footprint

A carbon footprint is the measure of CO2 and other greenhouse gases that produced by activities of people that effect our environment. Carbon footprint is the total amount of carbon dioxide caused by the actions of an individual over a period of one year. I measured my carbon footprint and my score was 9.05. It means I’m living as if there were 9.05 earths. I’m going to write about my carbon footprint problems and their solutions.

I have many carbon footprint problems. First of all, my transports depend on my car and at the same time we have more than one car at home. So I’ll effect our environment by increasing the CO2. Secondly, I travel a lot during my vacation and I travel to more than two countries. Then I’ll damage the atmosphere by producing a lot of CO2 and the climate will get hotter. Finally, I use my laptop more than 6 hours daily and also most the time I don’t switch it off when I leave or I don’t use it.

There are a lot of solutions for my carbon footprint problems. First, I have to buy a bicycle and motorbike to reduce using my cars and I’ll reduce CO2 and decrease global warming. Next, I should start stop traveling and if I want to travel I’ll travel to not far countries and by doing this I’ll not damage our beautiful environment. After that I must switch off my laptop when I’m not use it and not use it too much.

In conclusion I hope that people care about their carbon footprint (their activities) and be aware that it will affect us and our children in the future. So don’t be selfish and share information with others and try to help and do some things for global warming.
