The half.
If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, you can reduce your emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere.
no!
yes, but there are ways to reduce it
A method is to reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Intel does reduce and offset its carbon footprint, with a current stated goal of 20% reduction by 2012.
It is important to reduce the value of carbon footprint.
Do not waste water.
As individuals, we can reduce our eco/carbon footprint by recycling, eating less red meat, conserving water, reducing the amount of goods we consume, and choosing environmentally friendly forms of transportation. As a society, we use more clean, renewable, and efficient energy sources, carbon capture our fuel, and raise awareness.
Recycling allows for materials to be used again or used as energy instead of fuels or electricity. By doing so, this reduces the amount of waste going into a landfill and also allows for energy conservation and resources conservation as the recycled products can be used again.
It is necessary in order to reduce our planetary 'carbon footprint' by as much as humanly possible. Carbon that we release from biomass can (theoretically) be absorbed back into the plants that make up the biomass. Carbon that we take from deep in the ground and release into the air is in the environment for thousands or millions of years unless we take specific steps to gather and contain it.
what?!?!
Vermont has a bottle deposit law to reduce litter, increase recycling, reduce waste disposal costs, create local jobs and save energy.
