9. CARBON FOORPRINT :-
A carbon footprint is a measure of the total amount of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2) and its equivalents,
emitted directly or indirectly by human activities. It is usually expressed in units of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) and is
used to quantify the environmental impact of an individual, organization, event, product, or process in terms of its contribution
to global warming and climate change. Carbon footprints help us understand the extent to which different activities contribute to
the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases, including CO2, methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases, trap heat in the Earth's
atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.Activities that release these gases into the atmosphere, such as
burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, contribute to an increased concentration of greenhouse gases, which
in turn leads to rising temperatures and associated environmental changes.
1.Direct Carbon Footprint (Scope 1): This refers to the emissions produced directly by an individual, organization, or activity.
Examples include emissions from burning fossil fuels for transportation, heating, and industrial processes.
2.Indirect Carbon Footprint (Scope 2 and 3): These are emissions associated with activities that are not directly under the
control of the individual or organization but are related to their consumption patterns. This includes emissions from the
production, transportation, and disposal of goods and services consumed by the individual or organization. Scope 2 includes
emissions from purchased electricity, while Scope 3 includes emissions from activities such as commuting, travel, and supply
chain impacts.
