A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases generated and released into the atmosphere because of an organisation, individual or community.
The short answer is yes. Since 1990 business sector emissions have increased by 46.8%.
Reducing your carbon footprint is important because it mitigates the effects of global warming and climate change by improving public health and maintains biodiversity. Carbon emissions ensure we have cleaner air, water and good.

- Achieve net-zero emissions before 2050
