In today's world, everyone says that they are environmentally friendly and want to reduce their carbon footprint. There are three sources of personal carbon footprint.

The first is the energy consumption of daily travel. Residential needs, such as cooling and heating, depend on electricity. The light of lamps and candles, bright and off day and night, consumes energy. When people are in the room, the air conditioner fan is always running, and the power consumption is geometric, and its carbon emissions also increase. And when cooking, cooking on fire, the gas used is also the source of carbon. This daily energy consumption is not noticed by everyone, but it adds up to a lot, which has a huge impact on the carbon footprint.

The second time, the way to travel is also. Today's transportation is convenient, but much depends on fuel vehicles. Private cars, streets and alleys, go back and forth like weaving. Between the lines of the car, fuel burns, and carbon dioxide is discharged into the air. That is, buses and subways, although they carry a lot of passengers, their power sources are also involved in carbon emissions. As for long-distance travel, when the plane is taken off, its fuel consumption is amazing and carbon emissions are also considerable. The frequency of travel and the choice of tools are all related to the size of an individual's carbon footprint.

Furthermore, the habit of consumption is also. People need a lot of daily needs and shop a lot. All kinds of goods, from production to circulation, consume countless energy during this period. To make a garment, you need to grow cotton, textile, printing and dyeing and other processes. Every step consumes energy and generates carbon emissions. Food supply, from field to table, transportation and storage, are all related to carbon. If people like luxury things, shop frequently, and trade in the old for the new, the increased carbon footprint will also be large.

Therefore, if you want to reduce your personal carbon footprint, you should focus on three aspects: daily energy consumption, travel methods, and consumption habits. Only by saving energy in your daily life, choosing environmentally friendly travel, and advocating rational consumption can you make a modest contribution to the great cause of environmental protection.
