Slide 2 By Tabitha Odutayo Slide 3 What is carbon footprint How
we calculated our carbon footprint Finding out your carbon
footprint Comparison Why carbon footprints affect our lives How to
change this Thanks CONTENTS Slide 4 Carbon footprint is the amount
of carbon dioxide emitted into the air due to humans. NOT NATURE!!
Burning fossil fuels can create carbon dioxide travelling into the
atmosphere which will eventually cause pollution. Just as we leave
footprints in the sand, carbon dioxide also leaves footprints in
the air. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN! Carbon dioxide comes from the
burning of fossil fuels. Oil, gas, and coal, are all fossil fuels
because they come from fossils of ancient plants and animals.
Activities in daily live such as driving a car and using
electricity, produce carbon dioxide emissions which is a for of a
greenhouse gas. Using electricity at home can contribute at least
12% towards the emissions of carbon in the environment. Objects
which use electricity such as a microwave, dishwasher, and light
bulbs give out a high carbon footprint. Even providing water can
use up a large amounts of energy. However, this can be different
for other people. WHAT IS CARBON FOOTPRINT? >. My
