My individual carbon footprint is the greenhouse gas emissions that I’m personally responsible for. I had measured mine in the http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/ and I felt good that I got the lowest number; it was 2.98. The average figure for CRB was 3.778.
The three main factors of mine which contributed to my figure were classified as:
1) Travel
2) Stuff
3) Food
My personal footprint is 2.98. Of course, companies institutions (e.g. ADMC), and countries all have footprint. According to “Heroes of the UAE”, the UAE has the largest per capita footprint in the whole world.
What can I do to reduce my carbon footprint?
The highest main factor was Travel. I don’t go out, only for some important things (College, Work, familiar things). But sometimes I go with my friends at the weekend to have some good time and forget about study and work. The second thing is the stuff. This thing I couldn’t make it less than what it is now. I don’t buy many things, only some personal little things. Last thing was the food. I can’t make it less! Sometimes you want to comfort yourself.
People can reduce their footprint by reduce using the unimportant things in their lives.
