} catch(err) {} We all have a Carbon Footprint that can be reduced and compensated for (offset). Virtually everything thing we do is based on the use of oil, gas and coal, and creates carbon dioxide emissions. In estimating footprints we look at CO2 levels from the use of fossil fuels in energy, transport and waste. These are things we can take direct responsibility for. They represent our primary Carbon Footprint. They are areas we can make change in. We express the footprint in simple figures - tonnes of CO2, the main greenhouse gas. Carbon levels in the atmosphere are directly related to lifestyles. When these are expressed in terms of a carbon footprint we see big differences between individuals, organisations and countries. These differences can be enormous - orders of magnitude in scale. For example, in the US, annual per capita CO2 emissions are around 20 tonnes. This is about 2 times that of the UK 's 10 tonnes, and 260 times the footprint of a person living in Uganda, East Africa . We can all play a part in changing from a high to a low carbon culture.
