| Carbon footprint |
Hi, today I am sharing about, how can you reduce your CARBON FOOTPRINT in daily life. Okay, first let's know what is this exactly means and how to calculate your own CO2 emission? The carbon footprint (CF) or ecological footmark is an amount of greenhouse gas (CO2) released into the air directly or indirectly by each person, group or any organization. In fact, your CF means the amount of greenhouse gases added to the air because of your daily usage (i.e. burning of fossil fuels, use of domestic electricity, driving cars etc.). Control over our individual CO2 emission is the primary step in ridding of the threat of global warming to the environment. Changing environment does not just affects human beings, but
it also make live very hard for other living creatures such as plants, birds and animals. Now it is become our duty to work together and cut off ecological disorder as soon as possible.
How to reduce your CF?
Reducing your CO2 discharge depends on your using of energy (That is to say, more the use of energy, and the larger the discharge into the air). Simply by following these small tips, you can contribute a lot to slow down Global warming effect.
1. First of all, think of using renewable sources like solar light, wind and hydroelectric power. This way you can reduce it to minimum.
2. Installing a solar panel system can suddenly reduce your energy consumption and also save a maximum of your electric bill. When you are boiling water, it uses a lot of electricity in your kitchen, It is better to use any solar water heater instead of traditional one.
3. Use non-toxic organic products and try to recycle things as much as possible. For example, you can reuse scrap paper for rough works.
4. Use recycled paper and print only what you need. If possible use public transports like bus or train rather than your own vehicle. You can also ride a bicycle or walk for short journeys. Run your dishwasher or washing machine with full load every time you use it.

7. Do not boil unnecessary water; boil only as much as you need.
8. Most importantly, watch out for energy saving recommendedlogo or energy star logo while you are purchasing any electrical gadgets, like Dishwashers, Computer & printer, Television, Lighting appliance, Fridges, Kettles, Digital radios, TV set-top box etc.
By a little research one can find many other useful things, that can reduce your own carbon emission to minimum.
Calculate and offset your CO2 footmark
By using a CF calculator, you can measure the amount of Co2 producing by your equipments or machines every day. So you can easily get control over those things, that are generating more carbon. There are many such tools you'd find online, but you can check my partner micro website with Carbon Advice Group, which will show how much CO2 you are generating by each of activities or products you are using. You can use their calculator for know your personal and business CO2 emission rate. They also offer many green projects and carbon offset service for all (business organization, offices, school and individual). This is a very useful website fully loaded with all types of Eco-friendly information and solution.
The final slogan for reduce CO2 discharge and make the World Eco-friendly is: Adopt recycling products, reuse things as much as possible and reduce your carbon footprint. This is possible only when you start thinking about, how to save your own mother earth.
