One of the most distinctive features of our living planet is the invisible blanket of gases that surrounds it, preventing the Earth from losing all its heat. However, since the beginning of the industrial revolution 200 years ago and the massive burning of fossil fuels, this layer has been made up of a much larger amount of carbon dioxide and is causing our planet to warm up very quickly now.

Despite having this layer of greenhouse gases for thousands of years, temperatures here have remained fairly constant, averaging -15 degrees Celsius. Today, however, with higher levels of greenhouse gases adding to this layer, it traps more of the sun's heat, with the average UK temperature now rising to around 15 degrees Celsius.

This is known as global warming, a key indicator that the world's climate is changing and is most evident in the rapid melting of the world's glaciers and polar regions. But it's not just in these natural winter wonderlands that the effects of climate change are evident, even in England we're noticeably experiencing longer heatwaves during the summer and colder spells during the winter months.

У ствари, око 45% укупних емисија у Великој Британији се емитује у свакодневном животу, од вођења куће и транспорта до једноставног слања е-поште. Almost everything we do seems to have some form of impact and the government's view is that the only way to reduce this is if people are aware of their carbon footprint, because then they can take logical steps to try to reduce it.

Since the average household generates around 5 and a half tons of CO2 each year, we all need to take action to prevent ourselves from doing so much damage to our planet. This is actually relatively easy to do, because we simply need to be more aware of how much we as individuals contribute to the greenhouse gas effect. Пратећи ове једноставне кораке, бићете на добром путу да смањите сопствене додатке растућем покривачу који окружује Земљу.

Прво морате да израчунате сопствени угљенични отисак користећи један од следећих калкулатора:

Now that you know how much CO2 your household produces, it's time to avoid unnecessary emissions, so walk to work instead of using the car and turn off your appliances when you're done.

Не можете спречити стварање емисија, али можете покушати да их смањите. Things like using energy saving light bulbs or using public transport instead of driving will not only reduce your carbon footprint but also save you a few pounds.

Неке емисије се не могу избећи или смањити (као летење), тако да их треба надокнадити. То значи да смањујете емисије на другим местима да бисте надокнадили емисије које се не могу смањити. Сада то може да се уради на много начина, али покушајте да пронађете компанију коју су УН и Кјото одобриле и посетите Владин веб-сајт да прво сазнате више о томе.
