Carbon footprint, according to WHO, is the amount of Carbon dioxide emitted in the environment due to the activities of a person or an entity. The carbon dioxide is emitted either due to manufacturing, transportation or by heating or by the burning of coal for the production of electricity.
Other than carbon dioxide, other gases like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), methane, or nitrous oxide emission is also considered in the carbon footprint concept. Carbon dioxide emission is expressed as the weight of CO2 produced in tonnes. This measurement is important to understand the impact of an individual or entity’s behaviour on global warming.
