Climate change is wreaking havoc on nature and the global economy. Faced with this situation, many companies have decided to make a positive impact by implementing green policies. By meeting certain requirements, companies can be certified as B Companies. Calculating the carbon footprint generated is key to evaluating making a…
Excessive emissions of this colorless, odorless gas composed of oxygen and carbon are one of the main causes of global warming. A problem caused by human activity and aggravated by the long persistence of CO2 in the atmosphere. Although the emissions generated by an individual are not the same as…
One of the primary factors contributing to global warming is the excessive emissions of this odorless, colorless gas made of oxygen and carbon. an issue brought on by human activities and made worse by CO2’s protracted atmospheric persistence. Even if an individual’s emissions are different from those produced by activities…
Every time we travel by car, charge our cell phones, or run the washing machine, among thousands of other routines, we leave behind a trail of gases that accumulate in the atmosphere and overheat the planet. These emissions accelerate climate change, as the United Nations (UN) warns in its Sustainable…
Among thousands of other habits, we all leave a trail of gases behind us every time we drive, charge our phones, or do the laundry. These gases build up in the atmosphere and cause the earth to become too hot. According to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United…
What is the real impact on people and society of excess emissions and carbon footprint? The consequences in the not-so-distant future could be enormous, and in some places catastrophic, unless there is a drastic reduction in the decade we have started this year. Fortunately, technology has provided multiple ways to…
What are the true effects of excess emissions and carbon footprint on people and society? If there is no significant reduction in the decade we started this year, the effects might be immense and in some areas catastrophic in the not-too-distant future. Fortunately, technology has offered a variety of solutions…
The atmosphere has changed. The concentration of CO2 is higher than ever, the average temperature since the industrial revolution has increased by about 1°C and the climate forcing (the difference between the sunlight absorbed by the Earth and the energy radiated back into space) has increased during that period by…
The environment has altered. More CO2 is present than before, temperatures have generally risen since the industrial revolution by roughly 1°C, and climate forcing—the difference between solar energy absorbed by the Earth and energy radiated back into space—has grown by 2.3 watts per square meter over that time. These many…
The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon into the atmosphere. Other minor sources include industrial processes such as cement manufacturing and the burning of natural gas in the petroleum and petrochemical industries. Most of the carbon emissions to the atmosphere come from energy used in human transportation, electricity production, heating…
