A carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions caused by an individual, event, organization,
service, place or product, expressed as carbon dioxide
equivalent. Greenhouse gases, including the
carbon-containing gases carbon dioxide and methane, can
be emitted through the burning of fossil fuels, land
clearance and the production and consumption of food,
manufactured goods, materials, wood, roads, buildings,
transportation and other services. The term was
popularized by a $250 million advertising campaign by
the oil and gas company BP in an attempt to move public
attention away from restricting the activities of
fossil fuel companies and onto individual
responsibility for solving climate change.
