Many people are not aware that everything they do has an effect on the environment. Before I calculated my carbon footprint I had no idea that the food I ate contributed to my carbon footprint. It is important to spread the word about this fact. In the attached article, there is a chart on the amount of carbon produced with each food that you eat. The website also lists easy ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Most people do not realize how easy it is to reduce your carbon footprint. It is as simple as shopping at the farmer’s market, which is actually very fun. If the people of the world can better educate the younger and older generations I think we can successfully reduce our carbon footprint. People just need to be made aware. Organizations should create television shows, ads, and posters to better spread the word about saving the planet. And to better educate the people living all over the world.
