Environmental Sciences:
Carbon Footprint -
We discussed how natural processes have kept a delicate balance in the amount of carbon in the environment and in ‘banks’. In recent years, building and use of carbon caches, previously buried deep in the earth, have increased the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. We talked about how different activities we take for granted require a large use of fossil fuels, and this is the definition of a carbon footprint. We talked about how difficult it is to determine just how large a footprint an individual leaves, and how many ‘green’ activities are in fact not so green.
