The term carbon footprint refers to how large carbon emissions you cause every year. The average global carbon footprint is today approximately 5 ton carbon dioxide equivalents per year. But in the Western world the average carbon emissions per capita is twice as large. In order to limit global warming to max 2 degree Celsius, we need to reduce our carbon footprints to below 2 ton carbon dioxide equivalents per year.In order to reduce your carbon footprint you first need to understand how large it is and what is causing it. Besides reducing your own carbon emissions, you may also have a positive impact on the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, by encouraging your friends reduce their footprints and to be active in the society debate
