Carbon Footprint Calculator
Today, Sameer told us to go onto carbonfootprint.com and calculate our carbon footprints. It was estimated that I emit 26.77 tons of carbon annually. This does not surprise me because I have an old car with a lot of miles on it, and I drive it everywhere. The website calculated that on average, Americans emit approximately 20.40 tons of carbon annually. I am not surprised because my country is filled with consumers who refuse to recognize the consequences of their actions. The American people, although they have a new leader, are not quick to change their ways concerning the environment.
