Carbon Footprint

Task 5:-

My Carbon footprint

I measured my carbon footprint at http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/& it was 3.27. Most of the students had similar figures. The actual average for my class was 3.778.

The main factors which contributed to my figure were classified as:

a) Travel

b) stuff

c) food

What can I do to reduce my carbon footprint?

It is known that the U.A.E has the highest carbon footprint per person as it is a negative thing and people should be aware about that.

The most contributors to my carbon footprint is travel, as I use my car a lot and I admit that sometimes I would be just driving around for a long time. Well some people would probably say just us the bus, but I really think that buses are more pollutant than my car, on top of that I don’t just go from place to place I like to cruise around sometimes and I don’t think the bus would do that for me.

As for air traveling, I don’t travel that much anyways except once every two summers or so.
At my house there isn’t much I could do except to turn off the appliances which I do usually.

Regarding to my food I might be a little guilty as I have three meals a day but in my occasion I really need lots of food as I need 2 gain a bit of weight to lose my thinness.
