Carbon Footprint Reduction By Jenn Stahl

What is a Carbon Footprint? The pie chart above shows the main elements which make up the total of an typical person's carbon footprint in the developed world. A measure of the impact our activities have 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 a measurement of all greenhouse gases we individually produce and has units of tones (or kg) of carbon dioxide equivalent.

What can I do to reduce my carbon footprint in my home o Greening at home keeps more of the "green" at home: inefficient heating, ventilating and air conditioning units, windows leaking conditioned air, and appliances devour energy. 1)Replace Low-Efficiency Light bulbs. Replace incandescent bulbs with energy efficient compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL). 2)Use Renewable Energy. Solar energy can be used to heat homes, buildings, water, and to make electricity. 3)Be Water Wise. Municipal water systems require a lot of energy to purify and distribute water. Don't let water run while shaving or brushing teeth. Repair leaky faucets and toilets promptly.

What can I do to reduce my carbon footprint on the road. Carpooling, taking public transportation, riding a bike, or walking. Buying highly fuel efficient cars, hybrids, and vehicles that use cleaner alternative fuels help reduce greenhouse gases emissions. On vacation consider renting a bicycle to explore locally rather than renting a car

High-energy usage household appliances Ovens Microwaves Water heaters Automatic dishwashers Stove tops The home appliances that are used to create heat (or in the refrigerator’s case remove heat) use the most energy Home appliances including coffee pots, toasters, and fans consume less energy overall, but the actual usage of any appliance depends greatly on its frequency of use.

Others ways to reduce my carbon footprint Turn off lights when no one is in the room Recycle more Turn down and use the half load setting on washing machines and tumble dryers. Turn down your thermostat. Fill your dish washer and washing machine with a full load Unplug your mobile phone as soon as it has finished charging
