<|:||:|> My Carbon Footprint <|:||:|>

Every one has a carbon footprint because we all live in this planet and have our affects on it. Carbon footprint is a measurement of the affects of a human on the environment in terms of the amount of green house gases which are produced on earth. Personally, I have done a quiz to check my carbon footprint and I’ve got a score of 2.95 which is below the UK average. I eat fish and meat very often so I need to reduce that a bit. My travel affects percentage is about 20% and I think it is normal. My home energy using is good compared with buying new things for home which is the worse in my score.

There are many different problems in each one’s affects on the environment. For example, some people travel too much and cause air pollution and some use their machines very often. According to my quiz results, there are three main footprint problems. One problem is that I buy too many home stuff such as refrigerators and that sort of things. In addition, I travel about 3 times a year to different places with different distances. This absolutely pollutes the air because of the planes waste. Moreover, I eat meat and fish very often and oppositely, I rarely eat vegetables. Eating meat and fish required transportations of these foods, so again this will pollute the air. Cows and goats are also eating the grass the plants which take the carbon dioxide and give oxygen.

Actually, everyone can improve his footprint by reducing the usage of unnecessary things. In my case, I should reduce my traveling trips by plane as much as I can. It will be useful to use the public transportations instead of using my own car which produces too much pollution. Eating vegetables and fruits would reduce my footprint disadvantages.

In conclusion, everybody should be aware of his own footprint and try to improve it as much as he can to save our planet or at least to reduce the current pollution, so we get a clean healthy air.
