A carbon footprint is a measurement of the amount of greenhouse gases produced by human activities, measured in units of carbon dioxide. The document provides links to videos about carbon footprints and lists steps to efficiently reduce a carbon footprint, such as performing a life cycle assessment, identifying areas that consume large amounts of energy, optimizing energy efficiency, and offsetting remaining emissions through projects like biofuels or tree planting. The document concludes with the message that understanding and reducing carbon footprints can help address climate change.

1. CLIMATE CHANGE

2. Carbon Footprint A carbon footprint is a “measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of green house gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide”.

3. Here are some videos about carbon footprint. http://youtube.com/watch?v=3EszBH3cQqI http://youtube.com/watch?v=FIhnDvb7Exo&feature=related http://youtube.com/watch?v=bjyrtrhUmT4

4. The carbon footprint can be efficiently and effectively reduced by applying the following steps: Life Cycle Assessment to accurately determine the current carbon footprint Identification of hot-spots in terms of energy consumption and associated carbon dioxide-emissions Optimisation of energy efficiency and, thus, reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and reduction of other GHG emissions contributed from production processes The last step includes carbon offsetting; investment in projects that aim at the reducing carbon dioxide emissions, for instance biofuels or tree planting activities.
