Carbon Footprint

A carbon footprint (or greenhouse gas footprint) is a calculated value or index that makes it possible to compare the total amount of greenhouse gases that an activity, product, company or country adds to the atmosphere. Carbon footprints are usually reported in tonnes of emissions (CO2-equivalent) per unit of comparison. Such units can be for example tonnes CO2-eq per year, per kilogram of protein for consumption, per kilometer travelled, per piece of clothing and so forth. A product's carbon footprint includes the carbon emissions for the entire life cycle. These run from the production along the supply chain to its final consumption and disposal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_footprint cf Carbon Accounting
