What is Carbon Footprint ?
Carbon footprint is the total amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases such as methane, laughing gas, etc. emitted from products or services (according to ISO 14040) over a life cycle. The source of such gas comes from activities such as the use of electricity, the use of fossil fuels. Processes in industrial or agricultural sectors, etc.
Carbon footprint measures the impact of products and services from the quantitative environmental human activity by using Global Warming Potential (GWP) as the indicators and we all also know that IT industry causes the global warming these days. So we should study carbon footprint and work together to reduce pollution as much as we can.
