What is your carbon footprint? Hmm… ok, let’s start over… What is a carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint is a “measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide“.
Here’s a nifty tool from ivillage.com, an online calculator to measure carbon footprints. I think this is just the right time, hoping it’s not too late, to take a clear and determined look at how our lifestyles are affecting the environment. Isn’t it just responsible to keep this planet liveable for the generations to come?
Aside from the i-village link above you can also visit www.carbonfootprint.com for more documentation, tools and networks. That website has online tools to measure your carbon footprint AND has several pages and suggestions regarding your carbon offsets.
Carbon Offsets! Whaz that again? Sorry. Carbon offsets are your determined ways to reduce your carbon contribution to the environment. It’s your go-green plan! Check out that site, there are tons of ways you choose from to go-green at home, in the office… everywhere!
