CARBON FOOTPRINT
What is a carbon footprint?
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 United States 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°C 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.

Your results
Warning! Some questions were left unanswered, thus this report cannot reflect the whole estimate of your carbon footprint.
The sector where your footprint is the largest is XXX ( kg/year). This is where you may want to find ideas to reduce your impact. Go ahead and change some of your answers in the corresponding chapter to try and improve your carbon footprint. By definition, Infrastructures do not reflect a personal choice, but the cultural and economical conditions you live in. Nevertheless, as a citizen, you will have the opportunity to influence the political choices to be made in this regard.
On the contrary, the sector where you have the lowest footprint is YYY ( kg/year). Well done!
If all of the Earth inhabitants had the same habits, about ZZZ billion tonnes of CO2 would be released into the atmosphere instead of 33 billion tonnes.
