A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment, and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation etc.
I want to know how buying that computer, car, or lawnmower impacts my environment. If I ate that organic cereal from my local grocery store is going to be a good choice. Which choices that we can make today can be good for the earth's future? I'm hoping other people are asking themselves those very same questions. We are having a program at the library this Thursday, on carbon footprint reduction that was picked up by our local newspaper. I saw it in last Sunday's paper, and I hope other people saw it, too.
