Carbon Footprint

Your carbon footprint is a gauge of your CO2 emissions or the impact your activities have on the environment measured in carbon emissions. Your carbon footprint is measured in units, tonnes or kg of CO2. Our carbon footprint is mainly produced through burning fossil fuels for heating and transportation, but also in the production and shipping. We can reduce our carbon footprints with carbon offsetting.

A carbon footprint is made up of two parts: your direct carbon footprint, the things you do directly like drive a car , and your indirect carbon footprint, things like the energy used in shipping goods to your home.

1. The direct carbon footprint is a measure of our direct emissions of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels including domestic energy consumption and transportation (e.g. car and plane). We have direct control of these. These are easy for you to change immediately by cycling, car sharing or taking holidays at home. You can offsett your carbon footprint with carbon credits.

2. The indirect carbon footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use – these are generally associated with their manufacture and eventual disposal. We can offset these by changing suppliers, reducing how much we buy or carbon credits.

Carbon Footprint - Your Carbon Footprint, Carbon Offsetting and How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

You carbon footprint is important and you need to make sure that it is as low as possiable to help us save the world. What can you do to save the world? Reduce your carbon footprint right now and use a carbon footprint calculator to let you know how big your carbon footprint is.

Alot of people have requested i post up the talk i did at Siggraph 2008 about making the mutli-award winning vfx short, ‘Carbon Footprint’. Unfortunetly i dont have a recording if the actual talk i did there along with compositor Fabio Zaveti and producer Stefano Salvini, but i did still have some movies that i took along. I have re-recorded what we were talking about at the event over the top of these movie clips - so i hope you find them interesting - and sorry it took me so long to get around to it. Carbon Footprint The film is an animated time lapse following the decomposition of a tin can over 50 years, depicting the impact of failing to recycle rubbish.

I’m looking at wooden library chairs for a commercial environment. Obviously I want a sturdy chair and when I see something like "mortise and tenon," is that the best type of construction for such a chair? Is there something else I should look for? What type of questions should I ask the vendor?
