Carbon Footprint.

carbon footprint is a "measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide".[1]It is meant to be useful for individuals and organizations to conceptualize their personal (or organizational) impact in contributing to global warming. A conceptual tool in response to carbon footprints are carbon offsets, or the mitigation of carbon emissions through the development of alternative projects such as solar or wind energy or reforestation. A carbon footprint can be seen as a subset of earlier uses of the concept of ecological footprint.

It might be possible that we are not the highest green house gases emitting countries in the world, but with the increase in the population and the immense growth and progress that the country is achieveing, the day is not far that Indians will have the biggest carbon footprint. Its the right time to make a new beggining and start from today to put every efforts and contribution to decrease the carbon footprints in all means posssible.
