Why calculate our carbon footprint?

Basically the Carbon Footprint Calculator is a carbon footprint calculator, a useful tool that lets us know how much carbon dioxide we produce. The “Carbon Footprint”, then, is nothing more than the footprint that each of us, with our own lifestyles (eating habits, work patterns, sports, type of travel/movements we make, etc.) contribute to leaving on the planet in terms of CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions produced.

Awareness of the carbon footprint that each of us produces every day (every week, month and year) has been growing more and more in recent times, particularly since we realised that our activities (and habits) also “heavily” affect Nature and, more generally, the environment that surrounds us and in which we all live. Man, in fact, needs what Nature provides to live. The need to calculate our carbon footprint arose to answer a precise question: how much of the natural resources are we using and, more importantly, how much of these natural resources do we still have at our disposal? Hence, the carbon footprint was born as a “unit of measurement of the natural resources that humanity is taking away from Nature”.

This valuable “calculator” is therefore useful to know how much mankind actually affects nature and the environment, to understand and identify which “areas” (or rather, “sectors”) need a reduction in consumption. This is a tool that helps us understand the importance of protecting and preserving the environment in which we all live and it teaches us how to use and conserve the remaining resources we need to live.

And now find out what your carbon footprint is…

We only have one home. We would do well to look after it.

More awareness about the health of our planet is necessary to preserve our future generations
