  1. Emission factors connected to living

  2. Carbon footprint • The majority of carbon dioxide emissions generated by individuals are generated through transportation or heating and cooling of homes. • In the case of cars or airplanes, this occurs directly in the combustion chamber of the engines and the associated emissions are known as direct emissions since they occur at the point of consumption. • When we consume electricity, the emissions are indirect since they occur at the generation plant and not at the point of consumption

  3. Carbon footprint

  4. Carbon footprint in the world • The average footprint for people in Portugal is 5.63 tonnes of CO2The average footprint for people in China is 3.84 tonnes of CO2The average footprint for people in Spain is 7.70 tonnes of CO2The average footprint for people in Poland is 8.00 tonnes of CO2The average footprint for people in Finland is 12.60 tonnesof CO2The average for the industrial nations is about 11 tonnes of CO2The average worldwide carbon footprint is about 4 tonnes of CO2
