Carbon Footprint Auditing
Why is a Carbon Audit SO important
First we must admit that climate change is everyone’s problem. No agency, government or scientist alone can “fix it” for us. We are all in this together.
Increasing concentration of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) in the atmosphere is accelerating climate change
According to the National Geographic, carbon dioxide (CO2) accounts for approximately 3/4ths of all GHG’s
Every activity we perform produces emissions
To reduce emissions, our lifestyle needs to change
