Understanding Carbon Footprint
Overview:
A carbon footprint measures the pollution we create from activities like driving or flying. Reducing it means making choices that produce less pollution.
Description Texts:
A carbon footprint is a way to measure how much pollution we create through our activities. For example, driving a car or flying on a plane generates carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming. To lower your carbon footprint, try walking or biking instead of driving. These activities don’t produce pollution and help you stay active. Public transportation, like buses and trains, is another great option because it reduces the number of cars on the road and cuts down on pollution. By choosing these eco-friendly options, you can enjoy your travels while helping to keep the planet healthy.
