Why It Matters

The average American generates approximately 16 tons of CO2 per year, significantly higher than the global average of 4.8 tons. To limit global warming to 1.5°C, scientists recommend reducing individual carbon footprints to 2.3 tons per year by 2030.

Understanding your carbon footprint is the first step toward making meaningful changes. Small adjustments in daily habits can lead to significant environmental impact when adopted by millions of people worldwide.
