It has become commonplace for legislators, producers and environmental conservationists to speak about our "Carbon Footprint." They make claims like "Buying this kind of lightbulb will lower your carbon footprint" or "We have to consider how this new plan will effect our carbon footprint." But have you ever asked yourself what exactly is a carbon footprint, or how much you can affect it by something as small as changing your lightbulbs?
If you don't know that much about your carbon footprint or how things like your clothing purchases and the packaging of those items can affect, check out this Carbon Footprint Calculator (http://www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx) and the information on the website as a whole.
While the calculator can tell you how harmful your automobile travel is, you should check out the tab labeled "Secondary." Here you can find just how much your lifestyle choices and preferences affect your carbon footprint.
After you see just how large of a carbon footprint you currently have, test how much it would change if changed your fashion or recycling habits.
Together we can make this change a reality. By swashing and adopting greener clothing and purchasing habits, we can make a difference.
Swash today.
