As awareness of climate change grows, so too does the desire to do something about it. But what exactly is a carbon footprint, anyway?
it is “the sum total of all the greenhouse gas emissions that had to take place in order for a product to be produced or for an activity to take place.”
Each of these activities and products has its own footprint; a person’s carbon footprint is the combined total of the products they buy and use, the activities they undertake, and so on. A person who regularly consumes beef will have athan his vegan neighbor, but that neighbor’s overall footprint may be larger if she drives an hour to work and back in an SUV each day while our meat-eater bicycles to his office nearby.
The carbon footprint for first-and-business class passengers is larger because they take up more space on the plane and because their higher cost creates an extra incentive for the flights to actually take place.Please be respectful of copyright.
