Many instances in day to day life generate emissions, which contribute to the overall effect of increasing global warming and climate change.

There are many online calculators to measure your carbon footprint. These provide you with a better sense of what your impact is on climate change and what parts of your lifestyle you can easily change to reduce your carbon emmissions. Once you have this information, you can change very simple things in your life to reduce your carbon footprint, reducing your overall impact on the environment
