"A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases
(including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our actions."
"The average carbon footprint for a person in the USA is 16 tons, one of the highest rates in the world.
Globally, the average carbon footprint is closer to 4 tons.
To have the best chance of avoiding a 2℃ rise in global temperatures,
the average global carbon footprint per year needs to drop to under 2 tons by 2050."
"Lowering individual carbon footprints from 16 tons to 2 tons doesn’t happen overnight!
By making small changes to our actions, like eating less meat, taking fewer connecting flights
and line drying our clothes, we can start making a big difference."
