Carbon Neutral has become a movement to emit net zero carbon in the atmosphere. The aim is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thereby combat global warming.Global warming is caused primarily by the carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels like oil, coal, and gas. But we can do something about it - choosing to go carbon neutral by implementing renewable energy projects, use of solar and wind energy, planting trees which absorb CO2, and much more.
Our daily activities result in tons of CO2 released in the atmosphre, with the average american spewing over 22 tons of this stuff. Just think you and I send 44,000 pounds of CO2 in the air every year.
Many companies, individuals and enterprises have gone Carbon neutral. In fact the 2006 World Cup did it by initiating projects in India.
