A carbon footprint has historically been defined as "the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person.". [1] However, calculating a carbon footprint which conforms to this definition is often impracticable due to the large amount of data required, which is often time consuming to obtain. A more practicable definition has been suggested, which is gaining acceptance within the field:

The carbon footprint is a "measure of the impact that human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide ". [1] These gases are produced by the burning of fossil fuels for our everyday living. For example- heating and electricity; its purpose is for individuals , nations and organizations to conceptualize their personal (or organizational) carbon dioxide contribution. A conceptual tool in response to carbon footprints are carbon offsets , or the mitigation of carbon emissions through the development of alternative projects such as solar or wind energy or reforestation. The concept and name of the carbon footprint originates from the ecological footprint discussion. [2] The carbon footprint is a subset of the ecological footprint , which includes all human demands on the biosphere including the carbon, food and fibre footprint.

A carbon footprint is a "measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of green house gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide " [1] It is meant to be useful for individuals and organizations to conceptualize their personal (or organizational) impact in contributing to global warming. A conceptual tool in response to carbon footprints are carbon offsets , or the mitigation of carbon emissions through the development of alternative projects such as solar or wind energy or reforestation. A carbon footprint can be seen as a subset of earlier uses of the concept of ecological footprints . The average UK carbon footprint is 9.4 Tonnes Per Person.

Carbon footprint is a measure of the amount of carbon dioxide or CO 2 emitted through the combustion of fossil fuels ; in the case of an organization, business or enterprise, as part of their everyday operations; in the case of an individual or household, as part of their daily lives; or a product or commodity in reaching market. In materials, is essentially a measure of embodied energy , the result of Life cycle analysis .
