Carbon footprint refers to the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), released directly or indirectly through the activities of an individual, organization, or product. It quantifies the impact of human activities on climate change. The carbon footprint takes into account emissions from various sources, including energy consumption, transportation, manufacturing processes, waste generation, and land use. It is typically measured in units of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). Assessing and reducing carbon footprints is essential in mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable practices by identifying areas for emission reductions, adopting cleaner technologies, and making informed decisions to minimize environmental impact.
