The Carbon Footprint of a person, corporation, or group of people (family), is their combined carbon emissions minus their carbon absorption.

Very simply put, the fuel you burn while driving your car are emissions, while the trees you have growing in your backyard are carbon absorbers. Your carbon footprint is the sum total of your activities, including the products you buy.

While for example, a tomato, issued from plant life and therefore a carbon sink and will probaley die cause of all the pollution btw stop this (absorber), is basically a bonus to your Carbon Footprint, you must count in factors of transport, and all energy used to grow the plant. Where it gets complicated is that this tomato farm has it's own Carbon Footprint, and since it is a farm (by nature a carbon absorber), not all emissions are passed onto the consumer.

The Carbon Footprint is meant to be useful for individuals and organizations to conceptualize their personal (or organizational) impact in contributing to global warming. In addition, the burning of fossil fuels adds large amounts of pollution into our breathing air. Carbon Footprint's is made up of the sum of two parts, the direct / primary footprint and the indirect / secondary footprint.

1. The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions of CO2 from the burning of fuels including domestic energy consumption and transportation (e.g. car and plane).

2. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use - those associated with their manufacture and eventual breakdown.

There are many things you can do to Reduce your Carbon footprint including buying Carbon offsets . You can find out what your carbon footprint is by using a carbon footprint calculator.
