What Is Our Carbon Footprint?
Carbon footprint
Summary
Asia is the highest continent in GHG emissions. Three Asian countries were chosen and they are China, Japan, and Malaysia. China is considered the highest country in green house gases emission. All the three countries have common highest emission source .Despite the difference in their economic rank CO2 emission is known to be very high in developed countries like China and Japan.Many suggestions and creative ideas were taken in consideration in dealing with the significant problem . The three countries have achieved an obvious decrease in the amount of emission.But here comes the challenge for them to go on their way or give up and return back for the starting point .
How We Addressed This Challenge
We gathered many recent data on co2 emission rates in china, japan and malaysia. We searched for the highest co2 emission resource that is common between these countries. That was burning of fossil fuels of different types as coal, natural gas and petrol . We found that coal was the highest resource of these emission in the three countries due to it's wide usage in many fields as energy production and other industrial activities. We gathered many graphs supporting our data.
How We Developed This Project
We chose this challenge because it is an important and influential challenge because it talks about the effects of carbon dioxide which is the cause of killing many plants and others because of its increase in percentage so we made statistics to figure out the amount of carbon dioxide and how to control it in a useful way and our development for this project will be by searching more and more for all countries to see the percentage of carbon dioxide and we used many sites to collect information from them and we displayed it by video and by powerpoint and we developed Most of this information has added new ideas to solving the problems of carbon dioxide increase.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We get benefit from it, as we use its Redources which help us in reaching to accurate information. We've had graphs from it.
