Carbon Footprints

`Carbon footprints are basically a measure of the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released over the full life cycle of something
Tat can be a service an event or a product
That’s because there are so many different factors to consider, for example you would have to count the emissions released as a result of sourcing all the parts of your toastie maker and in making it, emissions produced and actually use it

You can’t always measure a carbon footprint exactly, but there are always methods to try and reduce it
Anything that reduces the amount of greenhouse gases given out by a process will also reduce its carbon footprint
Here are some things that can be done:
- Renewable energy sources or nuclear energy could be used instead of fossil fuels
- Using ore efficient processes could conserve energy and cut waste
- Lots of waste decomposes to release methane, so this will reduce methane emissions
- Governments could tax companies or individuals based on the amount of greenhouse gases they emit
- Governments can also put a cap on emissions of all greenhouse gases that companies make
- There’s also t4echnology that captures the C02 produced buy burning fossil fuels before it’s released into the atmosphere
