A carbon footprint is historically defined as “the total sets of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person.” The most common way to reduce the carbon footprint of humans is to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse. Recycling waste materials, using energy efficient appliances and using public transportation for commutation can all serve to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, thus, reduce Carbon footprint.
