My Carbon Footprint

My overall carbon footprint is 3.18.

The carbon that I measured is by:

• Home

• Travel

• Stuff

The carbon footprint that I created in my life is done by many things. And I will explain most of the things I did in life in how carbon footprint was created.
The measure of carbon footprints is done by several of things that I did in life. One of them is when I drove a car I consumed a lot of energy regularly during the day. Although it generally depends on how much I drove the car. Sometimes I drive over 2 or 3 hours a day. But, instead of driving most of my time when I want reduce the carbon is going out on foot. This was one of the ways that have reduced the carbon footprint in my life. Another thing is when I’m at home. A lot of carbon is created when trying to heating up the food. Also when using the electricity at home, I usually kept the electricity on. However now a day when I usually leave I try to turn them off as possibly as I could in order to prevent carbons. At other times when I buy new products from the shops and buy a lot of unnecessary things. Occasionally these products that I’ve bought may not be useful to me in the future and when these waste goes to the land fill areas they are sometimes burned or recycled and could be buried underground. When they burn or recycle them they create a lot of carbon and this adds up my carbon footprint also when burying them it often creates hazardous gases such as methane and carbon.

In conclusion, I have created a lot of carbon footprint in my life, but most of the time I try to reduce my carbon footprint by denying the things that stand in my way in creating carbon footprint.
