footprint. One of the primary causes of greenhouse
gas emissions is human activity. The gases caused by
these activities are released from the use of fossil fuels,
mainly for energy and transportation, and increase
the Earth’s temperature. Climate changes, such as
excessive precipitation, ocean acidification, and ocean
warming, are the other significant consequences of
these behaviours. Due to humanity’s excessive reliance
on fossil fuels, energy consumption, and ongoing
deforestation, the number of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere is rising, making it more difficult to reduce
a carbon footprint. However, there are a number of
strategies to decrease one’s greenhouse gas footprint,
such as altering one’s eating behaviours, using more
energy-efficient appliances at home, and purchasing
and travelling less overall.
