Carbon footprint is the measure of the total amount of harmful greenhouse gas that the people produce it directly or indirectly. First at all I measured my carbon footprint by using http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/. In this link they ask me some questions to rate my carbon footprint. First questions were about food. For example they ask me about how often I eat meat of fish, and my answer was few times a week. After that they ask some questions about travel. To illustrate, they ask me about what kind of vehicle I used to travel and what the size of it. Next questions were about home. Finally, they ask about stuff.
After answering the questions they gave me number of earths that I used, I got 2.26 earths. Then, I got some equivalent results from other student in my class. My friend Mohamed Yousf got 6.84 earths, Reada got 7.24 earths Ahmed Al Salami got 6.58 earths and Ahmed Al Tenaiji got 7.99 earths. From these results I saw that most the results were high and we should reduce carbon footprint.
In order to reduce carbon footprint following recommendation or need to take in to account: using public transport, recycling waste, using renewable energy and reducing our consumption of oil.
