Your lifestyle, my lifestyle and all of the everyday living actions we take add in some way shape or form to what is going into our atmosphere in the form of greenhouse gases or specifically speaking, "carbon-dioxide."
This is what a carbon-footprint is, and how it is measured.
Environmental Scientists believe these man-made gases are causing severe Global Warming Effects which are having alarming results on the environment.
These effects desperately need to be reduced to bring stability to our atmosphere and to the planet as a whole.
Could any actions you take be significant enough to really make a difference?
Some think they can't, but they could if everyone knew how and where to start.
Most people have heard about green-living and the green living concept is certainly nothing new. It also comes in many different shapes, sizes, and shades.
If it's environmentally friendly, it's good, and it's green, and it determines a measurement of the damage we are doing everyday.
What's important, is knowing what green living should be all about.
For most people it's simply a matter of getting back to basics and good old common-sense. That does seem logical when you really think about it, because everything we do has that chain-reaction effect on the state of our surroundings.
So, how far does one go? What would I have to change? Does it cost something?
There are many things people are doing in their own lives to contribute in their own way. And, they are coming up with more great ideas everyday. Some are slowly adapting to some new ways of doing a few simple things, and some are opting for an extreme change in lifestyle.
Carbon reduction is high in priority, yet there are
considerable other footprints we make as well to be
just as concerned about.
How about reducing your water footprint?
Carbon footprint reduction is just one of the many
aspects encompassed by the whole concept of saving
and conserving what's left of our environment.
If you are a believer in this concept, you may also
want to support a variety of methods available to
achieving it.
You know the old saying, that every little bit helps. It certainly can't hurt to do whatever we can to lessen the carbon-footprint we make by how we exist daily.
