Create an environmental expo to stimulate an interest in the Environmental Technologies Industry for which people of all age groups, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds can benefit. Our objective is to use activities and events as a platform to show how to impact a Zero Tolerance in our landfills and overseas, “bridge the digital divide” in technically challenged communities and create Sustainability solutions through research projects in partnership with businesses locally and internationally.
WHAT IS A CARBON FOOTPRINT?
Written by Deborah Clark
The overwhelming majority of experts agree that human activity is changing our climate. They warn that the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases we pump into our atmosphere will have a damaging impact on our environment and way of life. And they have called for us all to reduce greenhouse gases if we want to limit this damage. It is not easy. These gases are produced by almost everything we do – from the way food is grown and businesses operate, to every time we drive our cars, cook or watch TV at home. The Carbon Trust estimates that in the UK we produce 648 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year – an average of 11 tonnes for every man, woman and child.
