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?

Analysis and seeking a solution for GHGs

Summary

We identified sources of GHGs such as the industrial revolution, carbon dioxide emissions, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels. carbon footprint is the total amount of GHGS in atmosphere that can be measured by calculators in units of tonnes. We found the satellites measure the parentage of the carbon footprint. Satellite measurements derive atmospheric concentrations of gases using the properties of gases to absorb electromagnetic radiation at specific wavelengths by the spectrometer.After viewing some reports about the reduction of Carbon Footprint, the most effective solutions that America used are: - Reduction of fossil fuel subsidies -Making sure your car tires are properly inflated

How We Addressed This Challenge

First of all our propose was to make analysis or a small research paper about GHGs including carbon footprint. While we were making a brainstorm we found that we can add a new field called making a global awareness about carbon footprint and GHGs harmful effects. We searched for the most common easy steps to make a global awareness about GHGs. and carbon foot print and some of these steps are use clean transportation and recycle. Awareness among people can help us a lot to prevent or reduce the increasing rate of GHGs or carbon foot print, as people or humans are the most effectively factors in this increasingly rate. so our real ware is to fight the ignorance of the GHGs harmful effects in our world. we hope to decrease the bad effect of GHGs in the world by 2040.

How We Developed This Project

The increasingly rate of GHGs shows or reflects a bad effect on our world, the thing that encourages us to provide a solution for this great problem that faces our countries allover the world. we develop this project by providing it with a lot of researches , graphs and making analysis for our data that provided us a lot of information that helped us for making awareness spread among people to reduce the harmful effects of GHGs and carbon foot print. we depend in our project on a software materials like: links from internet- research papers. our big problem that faced us is how to find a verifications sites like: NASA- JAXA, our achievements that we solved this problem by finding research papers and graphs that were involved in our project.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

we used a site called "NASA Earth" to find and understand the data that comes from satellites that measures the Carbon foot print percentage in the atmosphere. as our project depends on software data.
