Plants Reducing Our Carbon Footprint!

What is A Carbon Footprint? A carbon footprint is a measurement of our actions that have an effect on the environment, and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation etc. A carbon footprint is a measurement of our actions that have an effect on the environment, and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation etc. The carbon footprint is the measurement of all the greenhouse gases we produce by ourselves and has units of tonnes (or kg) of carbon dioxide equivalent.

What is Carbon Dioxide?  Carbon dioxide or CO2 is an inorganic chemical compound with a wide range of commercial uses, from the production of lasers to the carbonation of soda. This compound exists naturally from the Earth's environment.  commercial carbon dioxide is usually derived from the byproducts of industrial processes.
