A carbon footprint is the measure of the impacts our activities have on the environment.
3
The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels including domestic energy consumption and transportation (e.g. car and plane). The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions. For example, if I order a product from California and live on the east coast it must be shipped by plane and by truck which increases the amount of CO2 burning.

Primary Footprint: Do not let your car idle Turn off TV’s and other electronics when not in use Carpool to school and work Do weekly shopping in a single trip Secondary Footprint Do not buy bottled water if tap water is safe to drink Buy foods that are in season locally Buy organic produce Try to buy products made close to home
