carbon footprint assessment

A carbon footprint assessment measures the total amount of greenhouse gases—like carbon dioxide—that are released into the atmosphere directly or indirectly from an individual, organization, product, or activity. It considers factors such as energy use, transportation, waste, and manufacturing processes. The goal is to understand how different actions contribute to climate change, so steps can be taken to reduce emissions. This assessment helps people and businesses identify major sources of their carbon impact and implement strategies to become more environmentally sustainable.
