 the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person.  Greenhouse gases can be emitted through transport, land clearance, and the production and consumption of food, fuels, manufactured goods, materials, wood, roads, buildings, and services  Most of the carbon footprint emissions for the average U.S. household come from "indirect" sources, i.e. fuel burned to produce goods far away from the final consumer

 Install solar panels  Converting to another type of energy  Make sure you follow the State Rules and regulations  Use less of the other energies
