Carbon Footprint


 What IS carbon footprint actually? 

Well, basically is a measure of all greenhouse gases a specified entity (eg an individual, a factory, a country) produces in a specified amount of time (a day, a year, a lifetime etc), and has units of tonnes (or kg) of carbon dioxide equivalent.
