My Carbon Footprint: Problems & Solutions


Carbon footprint is a measure method that illustrates how much does the human can affect the environment because of his or her activities in stead of greenhouse gases. The carbon footprint also measured capacity of carbon dioxide that we factorized it.


I found a website which can calculate my carbon footprint. This website is http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/. My carbon footprint is 3.70 planets out of 6.65 hectares. In fact my carbon footprint levels are very high because it scored more than the half and that considered as a dangerous level which is harmful for environment. Now I am going to outline the reasons that consists my carbon footprint and I will mention the solutions to reduce and banned my carbon footprint.


There are several factors that can contain my carbon footprint level. The major factor is my travelling by airplane which burned a massive size of carbon dioxide. The next main problem is that I spent more than five hours every day with my electronic devices and that used a lot of electricity which depend on burning oil. Another issue which is eating meat and fish and the difficulties to be a vegetarian because I am eating meat since my born.


There are several solutions to reduce my carbon footprint. One of the solutions is that to change my transportations as much as possible from cars and airplanes to bicycle or even walking. The second solution is to reduce my use on the electronic devices by using it for the significant requirements. The last solution but not the least is to change my food system to a healthy diet at least because its hard to me to be vegetarian.

To conclude, the solutions to reduce my carbon footprint are a lot, but the problem is to apply these solutions to the real.

Nice topic Mohammed

It appears that all of us have a big carbon footprint unfortunately

I agree with you that it is hard for us to apply solutions to reduce it but we should try as much as we can
