Show transcript
A carbon footprint is a measure of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of our activities.
By adding more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, people are supercharging the natural greenhouse effect.
Human activity is a major cause of rapid climate change; the main cause is burning fossil fuels.
Calculating our carbon footprint helps us to measure our impact on the planet and plan our daily activities accordingly.
