green gadgetsA carbon footprint is a measurement for the emissions of greenhouse gases (commonly expressed as carbon dioxide) that are created by activities or accumulated during the life cycle of a product.The major sources of carbon dioxide emissions from humans are from burning fossil fuels (home heating, electricity and transportation) and deforestation.
A carbon footprint calculator measures your demand and influence on the environment based upon your consumption and pollution.
Carbon footprint calculators compare your life style, consumption and pollution to the earth's capacity to regenerate enough resources to support your activities.
These calculators are freely available to use online and allow you to assess your carbon footprint and determine your requirement for green gadgets.
Param Jaggi's invention, for example, reduces the carbon emissions created by driving fossil fueled vehicles.
