A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases produced.
1.heating and air conditioning can make up a huge spend on carbon emissions.2.every time you plug something in, you are impacting the environment through carbon emissions. 3.the efforts to maintain and purify our drinking water can take a huge toll on carbon emissions.

the primary sources of carbon emissions are
- 4.Solid fuels such as coal – 35%
- 5.Liquid fuels such as oil or petroleum – 36%
- 6.Gaseous fuels such as natural gas – 20%
- 7.Industrial gas emissions from manufacturing or processing plants - <1%
- 8.Deforestation which increases emissions by decreasing the cleaning performed by forests – 5%
- 9.the more paper you use, the more you are contributing to deforestation and carbon emissions
- 10.Carpooling is a great way to help reduce carbon emissions

A carbon footprint is like when we make bread it makes a lot of carbon and releases it into the air.
1.The EPA revealed that indirect emissions related to electricity use rose by 19 percent over the same 1990-2015 time period.
2.Refrigeration has been a major source of these in the past, although recent advancements are reducing emissions.
3. The EPA revealed that indirect emissions related to electricity use rose by 19 percent over the same 1990-2015 time period.
4.Food production accounts for 83 percent of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions, or 8.1 metric tons each year, according to a study published in Environmental Science & Technology.
5.Driving at the speed limit can improve fuel economy by 7 to 14 percent.
6.Buildings emit 39 percent of the CO2 released in the U.S.
7.About 21 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions came directly from industrial processes in 2015.
8. Humans emit about 40 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide.
9.Volcanoes emit up to 0.15 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.
10.Transporting food accounts for 11 percent of emissions.
"This is important to know because we can tell everyone about it and we can do something about it."

A carbon footprint is how much carbon is produced like how gas powered cars leave a carbon footprint.
1Driving at the speed limit can improve fuel economy by 7 to 14 percent.
2Not only does driving faster contribute to higher amounts of burned fuel and emissions released.
3.At a speed over 50 miles per hour, every five mile-per-hour increase in fuel is equal to a cost value of $0.15 to $0.30 extra for each gallon burned.
4.humans emit about 40 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide, based on 2015 numbers.
5.Emitting CO2 via eruptions and underground magma (through vents, soils, porous rocks, and water), volcanoes emit up to 0.15 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, or around 90 times less than people do.
6.Lighting, heating, and cooling buildings contribute to emissions, as do the electrical appliances and equipment used by building occupants
7.Consuming 70 percent of the nation’s electricity, structures account for more emissions than the industrial or transportation sectors
8.Businesses that produce goods from raw materials burn fossil fuels directly from the energy they use
9.The chemical reactions that occur during production contribute to greenhouse emissions as well.
10.

By comparison, commercial and residential activities accounted for 12 percent of emissions that year.

1. A Carbon Footprint is the amount of Carbon Dioxide and/or other carbon compounds released into the air
Fact 1) The carbon footprint offers a way to calculate your contribution to the carbon dioxide emissions which change our climate.
2) An increase in greenhouse gases could change weather patterns and increase storm severity.
3) Carbon dioxide has increased by 36% since 1750
4) Greenhouse gases cause climate change, scientists identify carbon dioxide as the largest source.
5) The U.S. EIAnergy found that carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels accounted for 82 percent of the greenhouse gas released in 2006.
3. Knowing your carbon footprint can show areas where you can decrease your energy consumption and, in turn, reduce your production of carbon emissions.

1.the amount of carbon dioxide and other carbon compounds emitted due to the consumption of fossil fuels by a particular person, group, etc.
2.For example, many online carbon calculator websites will tell you that your carbon footprint is a certain size based purely on your home energy and personal travel habits, while ignoring all of the goods and services you purchase.
3.

FACTS
Buildings emite 39 percent of the co2 in the atmosphere.
About 21% of the green house gases were realesed in 2015
traveling on foot and bike still emits a fraction that a car would.
Using diffrent fuels emits different amounts of green house gases
Food accounts for 83% of the carbon.
even when thinds are off they emit green house gases
if you dont recycle it makes green house gases
A green house gas protection servises is located in switzerland
people emit more co2 then a volcanoe
