Carbon Footprint is a result of our bad behaviors and activities that help in increasing the amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in the air. It is called footprint because we leave a mark from our bad activities on the earth like the mark that we leave on a sandy beach. I have done the footprint quiz and I’ve got 2.45 planets. This score means that according to my bad activities, I need two and half planets.
There are lots of daily activities that lead to my Carbon footprint becoming bigger and bigger. One of those activities is driving a four wheel car for a long distance. That thing will increase the amount of harmful gases. The second problem is the side effects of using electricity. Keeping the temperature at my home under 20 C means using the electricity for long time and everyone knows what the result of using more electricity is? The third wrong activity is the big amount of waste with different kinds such as plastic, tin cans, glass, paper and food. All of these kinds are very difficult to destroy from the environment.
Because of all these negative effects of my activities, I’m going to display some solutions to reduce as much as I can the bad results. First of all, using a small car and public transportation will reduce a big amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in the air. The solution for the second problem is reducing of dependence on electricity. Turning off Air conditions and lights when we don’t need them is a suitable solution for the second one. Finally, reducing our home wastes and using the environmental friendly stuff will keep our environment clean and will reduce the size of our Carbon footprint.
To sum up, although several solutions have been mentioned, it is hard to correct our bad habits. Feeling responsibility is the first step to change our life. All people should cooperate to save planet because saving it is one of our major duties.
