The idea of a personal carbon footprint was popularized by a large advertising campaign of the fossil fuel company BP in 2005. This piece of propaganda was designed to shift the responsibility of carbon emissions from the company to the public.
You've probably heard about climate change and reducing your carbon footprint, but what is it exactly? Like a footprint, it's a mark you leave on the environment through actions that release harmful gases like CO2 from burning fossil fuels. The more fuel used, the bigger your footprint. For instance, driving emits CO2 not only from the engine but also from extracting, transporting, and refining the oil. Everything you own has a carbon footprint
