What is carbon footprint?  Carbon Footprint is where the impact of your day- by-day activities take place, for example; gas, energy, transportation and how they all take into measure.

Quick Tips on how to save energy, electricity and gas!  When drying dishes, only use the dishwasher to wash. Save energy by leaving the dishes to air- dry.  When not home.. Turn off the thermostat.  Always use cold water to wash clothes, this way you save 4% of energy!  Turn off appliances in your home, if they do not need to be used.  Unplug any chargers!  RECYCLE.  Bring your own re- usable bags when doing groceries.

Tips on saving gas  Purchase a vehicle that is energy-efficient  Plan quick trips for your vehicle  Use cruise-control: This helps your car save energy, by being able to maintain a stable speed.  When you use overdrive gearing, your car's engine needs to speed goes down.

Tips on how to purchase items  Don’t buy bottled water. Just drink the water from your house faucet. This will help you save money too!  Buy local fruits & vegetables from your local market or even try growing your own!  Try to cut down on your consumption of meat.  Buy organic products  Don’t ever buy over- packaged items

Carbon footprint calculator  My footprint was 1.78 metric tons only because I do not own a car and live within a family of 5  The average footprint for people in United States is metric tons  The average for the industrial nations is about 11 metric tons  The average worldwide carbon footprint is about 4 metric tons  The worldwide target to combat climate change is 2 metric tons
