Carbon Footprint

What's Carbon Footprint calculator?

Carbon footprint is a measurement of the effects of our activities on the environment. Specifically, it is a measure for the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouses gases which have increased due to human activities and caused the global warming problem. I did a carbon footprint survey at the website http://www.footprint.wwf.org.uk/ , and my carbon footprint result was 2.74 which was calculated by the website.

However, my footprint was 2.90. That was after the survey i did in the website which let me to choose some choices from each question & some how caculate my "Carbon footprint". well, i found that i have to Buy more seasonal food! , Walk instead of using other modes of transport ... whcih is only the car.. , Turn down the heating in rooms which you are not using and Avoid over-packaged products.

Anyway, my opinion of this website, specially after the sentence "Your living as if we had 2.90 plantes to support us. Although you are below the UK average, we obviously only have the one!", i got little excited, maybe because i don't do much of carbon in my dailies life.. but still, its ridiculus, i mean after i saw the choices in that website for its survey .. it was kinda stupid, because it ask about my food which its nessasary thing in our life.. who doesn't eat? it was kind of right when he asked about invronment friend tools like electrecity & such. but there's another question such the hours i traveld outside europe!! i don't live in euorpe & plus the time traveling in a plane it should atleas take about 15 or 14 hours in total conseder the the long way between my country & the country im going to. Finally... UAE got MORE carbon footprint than the US!!.. what the..!! well... nothing to say more...
