 Your carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted due to the consumption of fossil fuels by a particular person, group, etc..

 1. Buy local and organic: it is more likely that the food was grown eco- friendly and if it’s locally grown then you won’t have to travel far.  2. Pay attention to packaging: try to go to stores who use minimal packaging of their products.  3. No more bottled water: try using a reusable water bottle or canteen for your water.  4. Energy proof your home: make sure your windows are closed, insulate your attic, switch to florescent light bulbs.

 1. Sea level rise: densely settled coastal plains would become uninhabitable with a small rise in sea levels. This is due to the melting of the ice caps.  2.Reduction of the ozone layer: warming would result in increased cloud cover, this would result in the depletion of the ozone layer.  3. Spread of diseases: diseases would be able to spread easier in areas which were previously too cold to survive in.  4. Ecosystem change: the range of plants and animals would change, the bulk of organisms would begin to head toward the North and South poles.
