CLIMATE CHANGE VOCABULARY (CARBON FOOTPRINT)

Welcome back and happy Tuesday, readers!

Our theme for the week is Climate Change Vocabulary. Today we are learning the phrase CARBON FOOTPRINT.

Definition: The total greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual, event, organization, service, or product.

Example 1: I try to reduce my carbon footprint by taking the bus and riding my bike. 

Example 2: It's difficult to reduce my carbon footprint because my job requires me to travel a lot by air and car. 

Example 3: To help lower your carbon footprint, buy local produce. Our groceries can have a high carbon footprint when we buy imported goods. 

That's it for today. Thanks for taking some time to learn with us!
