A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). I have measured my carbon footprint in two websites. I am going to report them here.
In the first website, there was a four category questions to get some information about my life. It asked about the food am eating, the way I use for travelling and the kind of households am using plus the way of using them. My score was 2.56 (WWF). The second website asked about the consumptions for UAE households. It shows and measures our footprint in some categories like cooling, drying, etc. The result was 1.4(Heroes of the UAE).
My average from the two websites is 1.98. I compared it with my mates Basel and Khalil. My average and the average of khalil are almost equal with little more for khalil. While basel is ahead of us by nearly 0.5. Our results were ay below our country’s average which is 10.33.
If we want to save our little home, the earth, we should work on reducing our carbon footprint as much as we can. We can do that by reducing our use of energy. We can dry our clothes by hanging them under our lovely sun instead of the electrical dryers. We can travel by buses or trains in the future hopefully instead of cars.
