    As to number 5 - any renewable power source that will attract loads of taxpayer-funded subsidies for the huge energy corporations. They are called "Green" because they make so much green for the energy companies.

    A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment, and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation etc.

    The carbon footprint is a measurement of all greenhouse gases we individually produce and has units of tonnes (or kg) of carbon dioxide equivalent.

    A carbon footprint is made up of the sum of two parts, the primary footprint (shown by the green slices of the pie chart) and the secondary footprint (shown as the yellow slices).

    1. The primary 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.

    2. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use - those associated with their manufacture and eventual breakdown. To put it very simply – the more we buy the more emissions will be caused on our behalf.

    It’s a measure of the guilt you should feel for making plant food.

    If you fly a private jet to talk about carbon footprints, it’s small, if you drive a pickup truck to work, it’s big.

    A way to feel superior to other people who don’t live green

    The carbon footprint is a construct of a non-scientist to garner money.

  5. Carl Said,

    1.) It is where you take your foot and rub it on a graphite sheet and then stamp it on paper.
    2.) The size doesn’t matter, its how you use it
    3.) Don’t tread on graphite sheets
    4.) Green is the new cool. Live it!
    5.) Sweden Enchiladas, Green Beans, Spinach, Bell Peppers, Lucky Charm Hat Marsh mellows
    6.) Paint

    The best answer is given from "Amit" all the others ……………??????.

  7. Richie Said,

    A carbon footprint is a calculation of the CO2/Energy you use so that you can be taxed by the socialists.

    Your carbon footprint makes NO difference to global temperatures as radiative law shows that CO2 i9s unrelated to global warming as proposed by the IPCC!
