…In environmental terms, that is!
What is a ‘carbon footprint’? It’s the impact a person, product or behavior has on the environment- everything from the resources used to the waste generated. Americans on average have the largest footprint in the world due to high levels of consumption; about 24% of the world’s energy is consumed by only 5% of the population.
