My Carbon Footprint.

Your carbon footprint is the total GHG emissions you are personally responsible for emitting. And it is caused by anything that produces energy. I have estimated my carbon footprint on http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/ and it was 15.04 tonnes per annum. I had 19% food, 38% on travel, 16% home, and 27% stuff and it was about 3.14 overall compared to the planet which it is too much. As we can see the highest was on traveling and the lowest was on home; in my point of view I think it depends on the weather of the country. For example, in the UAE the weather is hot most of the time which will force the people who live there to use air conditioners in many places such as, cars, malls, homes, and buildings which will affect the environment in the long term and increase carbon footprints while in other countries like Germany they use less air conditioning. Here are some tips which might help to reduce carbon footprints. Fill your dish washer and washing machine with a full load - this will save you water, electricity, and washing powder. Fill the kettle with only as much water as you need. Go for a run rather than driving to the gym, and for short journeys either walk or cycle.
