The carbon footprint refers to the amount of CO2 you emit and the CO2 also called carbon dioxide is at the origin of the greenhouse effects, responsible for climate change.
Indeed, processing companies such as industries or means of transport are major producers of CO2 when to operate, these elements (factories, means of transport) release carbon dioxide in the form of waste from the operation of their various modules.
That’s not all, we also have bushfires, fires, combustions or any type of operation that requires energy such as oil, coal or natural gas that emits CO2.
Then, these gases that come out of the exhaust pipes of transport machines, the chimneys of factories or any combustion, are directly ejected into nature and by ricochet into the atmosphere which does not disappear immediately into the atmosphere but, over time, will form greenhouse effects.

1-WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) IN NATURE?
Here’s the most important thing about CO2: It’s a greenhouse gas. This means that CO2 in the atmosphere retains heat close to the Earth. This helps the Earth conserve some of the energy it receives from the Sun so that the sun’s energy is not entirely returned to space.
Without this greenhouse effect, Earth’s oceans would be frozen. Earth would not be the beautiful blue and green planet of life that it is. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth would be a ball of ice.
Thus, CO2 and other greenhouse gases are good up to a certain amount. But, CO2 is so good at retaining heat from the Sun that even a small increase in CO2 in the atmosphere can make the Earth even hotter.
Throughout Earth’s history, whenever the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased, the Earth’s temperature has also increased. And when the temperature rises, the CO2 in the atmosphere rises even more.

Thus, it is dangerous that the amount of CO2 is overflowing when only this gas can warm the earth and the more the earth heats, the more CO2 increases: the consequence is precisely global warming.

2-HOW TO OVERCOME THE EMISSION OF CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) FOR A HEALTHY CLIMATE?
Once in knowledge of the effects that CO2 produces in nature, man becomes responsible for his environment so, it is to be asked how to overcome the excessive production of CO2 that is to say the carbon footprint?
