Carbon Footprint
“The will to act is a renewable resource”
—Al Gore
A Carbon Footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of green house gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide.
For a business, the measures not only include the direct effects of energy used in manufacturing the product, but also the indirect effects of the entire product life-cycle from sourcing & delivery of raw material to product end-use & disposal.
