How does a carbon footprint harm the planet?
Things with large carbon footprints do damage to the earth by releasing large amounts of carbon. Things with small carbon footprints do little damage.A carbon footprint is just a number, telling you how much carbon is produced in the making, producing, transporting and using of a certain thing. This thing could be a car, or a bottle of beer, or a tin of vegetables, or your house, or even you.For example, the carbon footprint of a tin of vegetables that was produced on the other side of the world would consider the collection, transport, cooking and canning of the crop. It would then factor in the cost of transportation half way round the world, by ship, air, truck and perhaps your own vehicle. Compare this to vegetables grown in your own garden, or at least in your own local area.So an item with a large carbon footprint releases more carbon into the atmosphere, adding to the greenhouse gases already there, and contributing to global warming, much more than an item with a small carbon footprint.
What is the carbon footprint of one pound of Kraft cheese?
The carbon footprint of an item depends on many things, counting the carbon dioxide emissions involved in its collection, production, and transport.Cheese would start with the milk. A cow milked by hand on your own farm, the cheese produced by hand and put on your kitchen table would have no carbon footprint at all.Compare that with milk collected by machine, transported in road tankers to the cheese factory, where great machines use electricity to produce the cheese. Add the transport for the cheese, half-way round the world in a plane, sometimes, then the truck to the market, and you will get an idea of the carbon dioxide emissions from your pound of cheese.
