What is a carbon footprint?

Your carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by your activities, measured in CO2 equivalent (CO2e). Global average: ~4 tonnes/person/year. US average: ~14-16 tonnes. To limit warming to 1.5°C, individual footprint should be ~2 tonnes.

What contributes most to personal carbon footprint?

Transportation (especially flying and driving): ~30-50%. Home energy (heating, electricity): ~20-30%. Food (especially beef and dairy): ~15-20%. Goods and services: ~10-15%. Flights add ~0.9 tonnes CO2 per hour of travel.
