Today is the World Environment Day, and we all are celebrating by using our cars, ACs, Refrigerators etc. Normally we human beings exhale around 900 grams of CO2 every day, but each person’s ‘direct’ emissions, from household energy and transportation, amounts to about 10 tons of CO2 per person. In 2002, the US emitted 6,862 million tons of carbon dioxide, or 23.66 tons per person. The rest is from the commercial, industrial and non-residential transportation sectors, essentially producing the products and services we consume every day. This CO2 emission has to reduce otherwise one day will come when we will starve for Oxygen and water.
New York City produces nearly 1% of the nation's greenhouse gas emissions - an amount that puts it on par with Ireland and Portugal - according to a city study.
This environment lets take a pledge to reduce the carbon footprint. If each individual particpates then we can achieve the target of a happy earth and fresh environment around us. We should look for resources and initiatives that promote low carbon economies and lifestyles, such as improved energy efficiency, alternative energy sources, forest conservation and eco-friendly consumption.
