Cornell Notes - Carbon Footprint

In the U.S., the It is the whole quantity of 'greenhouse gases'

average carbon that we generate annually

footprint is 16 tons
per person

Each person can measure their own carbon

footprint in order to improve

Globally, it is 4 tons
per person

Solutions: eating less meat, using public

transport or even taking the stairs, among others

We should reduce it to
2 tons before 2050

Otherwise, global
temperature will rise
2ºC

In summary, our carbon footprint is too high right now, and a solution is needed
quickly. Otherwise, temperature will rise, among other e ects.
