CARBONIL| What Is Our Carbon Footprint?

What Is Our Carbon Footprint?

Your challenge is to identify local sources of carbon emissions and/or estimate amounts of carbon emissions for different human activities to aid scientists in mapping carbon sources and sinks. How can you inform decisions to adapt to the consequences of a changing world and aid policy makers in making plans for the future?

Carbon Footprint - Study and Awareness to Public

Summary

Our project analyzes the sources, impact and solutions for Carbon Footprint. The amount of Green House Gases released into the atmosphere by any particular human activity is known as the carbon footprint. Green House Gas emissions are caused by an organization, event or person. The various impacts of green house gases are Global Warming, Acid rain etc. Carbon Footprint calculator is used to measure the carbon footprint in land area shows how much biocapacity is needed to take care of our untreated carbon waste. Finally, the various solutions to reduce carbon footprint are provided in our project. Also, we created awareness videos for giving awareness to the public about carbon footprint.

How We Addressed This Challenge
  • In our project we have analyzed the sources impact and solutions for Carbon Footprint by creating awareness videos for giving awareness to the public about carbon footprint.
  •  The main feature of this project is
  • It discussed about various Green House Gases (GHGs)
  • It explains the sources and impacts of Green House Gases (GHGs)
  • It helps to understand the use of Carbon footprint calculator in measuring the Carbon footprint.
  • It also suggested solutions to reduce carbon footprint.
  • Through this project we gave awareness about carbon footprint to the public.
  • Through this project we can achieve CARBONIL Globe in future by educating the public about the impacts of Carbon Footprint.
How We Developed This Project

We wish to share useful information to the society. The Carbon Footprint is one of the problem that threatening the human community nowadays. So we decided to find solution to this challenge. We created awareness videos based on the information we gathered from NASA resources to educate the society about carbon footprint and its impacts so as to create a carbonil society in future.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We used data provided by NASA for Space App 2020 for developing our project. It helps us to understand the challenge more effectively from the basic. These data help us to create awareness videos with more information so that can educate the public to create a carbonil community.
