Carbon Footprints
A carbon footprint is the total amount of emissions of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, generated as a result of human actions. The last few years saw an alarming increase in the number of carbon footprints, causing tensions all around the world. Furthermore, leading to several global organizations and forums stepping up and calling for action regarding the increasing carbon footprint.
