CARBONFOOTPRINT 

According to Wikipedia, a carbon footprint has historically been defined as "the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person." Carbon dioxide isn't the only greenhouse gas generated through the use of technology; other such gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide, are also figured into the equation

Every person has its own carbon footprints but we can do a lot of ways to reduce our own carbon footprints and that’s what I’m going to share to you today.

RECYCLE – This way is very common to us. It plays a big role on human. It is the process of turning a used and non biodegradable material into something new that would be useful and that will reduce our wastes. Some of the common materials that can be recycle are, glass, plastics, papers or cardboards, textiles and electronics. Re using of reusable bags, bottles, cups, plates and other reusable things can also be part of recycling. Avoid using disposable materials. Use rechargeable batteries instead of the disposable one. It will also help you save some money.

Use CFL or compact fluorescent lamp because while giving the same amount of light, it consume less electric power than incandescent bulb plus it last longer so you will change less often. Using CFL will help reduce carbon dioxide pollution. Remember also to turn off lights and electric equipment and gadgets that are unnecessary and those are not in use.

Consider a smaller vehicle or a hybrid gas/electric car. When you can, use public transportation. Avoid airliners whenever possible. A train ride produces relatively little in the way global-warming gases. Walk or ride a bike for close-by trips. If you have, perform routine maintenance on your vehicle. A well-maintained vehicle uses less gas and produces fewer emissions that are harmful to the environment.

Plant a tree. Trees are very good on storing carbon dioxide that might go to the atmosphere. Plant a tree to help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trees are natural air filters because they convert the carbon dioxide we produce into oxygen. Aside from providing some shades for us, it gives us fresh air.

When possible, buy organic or "fair trade." There's a better chance the food was grown in an eco-friendly way, and if it's locally grown, it didn't have to travel that far. This also goes for those double lattes — coffee often has a large carbon footprint because of the distance those beans had to travel to get here, and how they were produced. Also, try eating at restaurants that serve locally produced or seasonal foods.

Be an environment-minded person. People who are conscious about their environment will likely produce less carbon footprints. Beside, you will be the one who will benefit on taking care in your environment in the long run or if not at least your own generation will. Remember that God entrusted the Earth to us so it’s our responsibility to preserve our mother planet.
