Carbon Footprint

January 21st, 2008 / Environment / No comments

I have been hearing the term Carbon Footprint more and more these days. Even while on vacation in St. Lucia there was a mention of it at the resort we stayed at. I decided to do a Carbon Footprint test online today to see where I stood against the average American and what I can do to decrease my footprint. My footprint is currently 16.608 tonnes of CO2. The average American has a footprint of 20.4. Michael and I have already implemented the use of CFL lightbulbs in our house.

Here are some other things I can do to offset the carbon emissions I produce each year:

Create a Compost Bin

Donate to Plant Trees in Kenya

Buy more Organic

Eat little to no meat

Don’t purchase items online

Be more of a Green Aware consumer
