What causes most carbon foortprint?
Climate change in our world continues to be a big problem that us humans are trying to
fix. One of the main sources that causes tons of carbon emission and greenhouse gases
is our transportation. According to the Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and
Sinks 1990-2021 transportation was the largest portion (29%) of total U.S. GHG
emissions in 2021. MY total carbon emission is about 17,741 kgs of CO2 per year, but
the the amount of CO2 that is from my transportation is 13,160 kgs. I can tell that
more than half of my carbon emission does come from the transportation like many other people in our country. They mainly come from cars, trucks, ships, trains, and planes. There are many ways we can still reduce the amount of carbon we put out from our transportation.The Center For Climate and Energy solution says that there is a variety we can help to reduce C02 from our transportation methods. They recommend biking, walking,or running,using electric vehicles, and carpooling with other people to cut down the extra miles. All of these ways are very simple and eco-friendly.
