Ans) Carbon Foot Printing: releasing of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere by the activity of human is called carbon foot printing. It can be measured as carbon dioxide emission in tons per year.

4 ways to reduce carbon foot print are:

1. Drive: to reduce carbon footprint we can use either walking ‚ carpooling or made transpot helps to reduce emission of green house gases in the atmosphere.

2. Diet: it has great imapct on carbon footprint of person. Avoid packaged foods and processed food ‚ red meat ‚ rice as they are major source of carbon diet.

3. Using 4 R's: carbon footprint can be reduced by using 4R's i.e. Reduce ‚ Reuse ‚ Recycle and Refuse and it can be done by using disposable items like reusable cans.

4. Avoid A.C. : minimum use of air conditioner can help to reduce carbon foot print as a.c. is also responsible for carbon dioxide emission.

Stay safe?and for any doubts feel free to ask in the comment section.

Plants require carbon dioxide for photosynthesis; despite this, the greater the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by various sources (including carbon emissions from vehicles), the worse it is for our biosphere. Discuss 3 reasons why it is detrimental to our planet to have high levels of carbon dioxide emitted continuously into the atmosphere.

Consider the problem of carbon dioxide emissions. We will abstract away from the problem slightly, assuming there are pollutions and consumer in two regions, the OECD (O) and the rest of the world (R). Suppose the marginal cost of controlling CO2 emissions is $10 per ton of emissions. Let the marginal willingness to pay for pollution reduction be 13-Q for region O and 12-2Q for region R, where Q is the amount of pollution reduction. The United Nations is considering...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are widely believed to be a driver of global climate change. In this problem set you will use cross-section data to test what drives countries’ “carbon footprints,” that is, their CO2 emissions. Is it population, or is income the bigger culprit? The data set “CO2 by country 2010 sh S17” contains data on a sample of countries’ CO2 emissions, in kilotons; population, in millions; and gross national income (GNI), in millions of US dollars, for the...

Emissions of sulfur dioxide by industry set off chemical changes in the atmosphere that result in "acid rain." The acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 00 to 14.14. Distilled water has pH 7.0,7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Normal rain is somewhat acidic, so acid rain is sometimes defined as rainfall with a pH below 5.0.5.0. A sample of 105105 rainwater specimens had mean pH 5.43;5.43; standard deviation 0.54;0.54; and five‑number summary 4.33,4.33, 5.05,5.05,...

Emissions of sulfur dioxide by industry set off chemical changes in the atmosphere that result in “acid rain”. The acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 0 to 14. Distilled water has pH 7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Typical rain is somewhat acidic, so acid rain is defined as rainfall with pH below 5.0. Suppose that pH measurements of rainfall on different days in a Canadian forest follow a Normal distribution with standard deviation...
