Definition
Carbon footprint is used to describe the impact that CO2 emissions have on the environment. The more fossil fuel based energy that you consume, or the more inefficient that consumption is, the larger your carbon footprint. This term was made popular by Al Gore in his movie “An Inconvenient Truth”, and during the Live Earth concert.
