Carbon Foot Print

Carbon foot print is the method of calculating how much CO2 is emitted to air because of our drive or flight from one place to another. For example I travelled from Boston to Kolkata. Total distance is 12495km. So my flight covered 12495km distance and during this time it emited 1.506tons of CO2. To compensate this huge amount of CO2 if we think of planting trees, it would take 30.1 square Kilometer of raonforest one year to absorb this. Then think about further. How many flights are takeing off from Hithrow Airport, one of the most businesst air port in the world and how much CO2 we are emitting. Accordingly how much square kilometer of rain forst we require or need to preserve. In Hithrow ever minute one flight takes off and lands on.

Apart from this we produce in many ways energies. In one way it gives us energy but other way the emittance of CO2 causes global warming. Fossile fuel is among one major contributor of today's energy contributor and CO2 emittor.
