My carbon footprint is 50 tons. I do not eat red meat which does decrease the amount of carbon footprint. One thing that I know I can do to reduce my carbon footprint is to not drive unnecessarily to places that I can walk. For example, when going to soccer practice or somewhere on campus I do not need to drive. Also, when traveling back to home, I can carpool with people instead of driving on my own. In addition, I can take quicker showers, make sure I always turn the lights out because I am forgetful. Instead of turning up the heat or air conditioner, I can adjust what I wear to be more comfortable. I can also eat foods that are more locally sources in order to reduce my carbon footprint.

One major detriment of climate change is the melting of ice sheets and ice caps in the arctic. This has had direct impact on certain indigenous communities in the north, especially costal groups and groups that live in and around island regions. Because of rising sea levels, many of these people are losing their homes and their land without an opportunity to leave because of lack of money and economic opportunity. Another major issue with climate change is ozone depletion. This occurs because of CO2 emissions that humans are greatly contributing to. This effect is causing not only the earth's air temperature to rise over time, but also is causing wat...

For example this chemical threatens fish, wildlife and could possibly be a threat to humans, giving off fumes that could lead to cancer. Defenders of DDT argue that a ban would have a devastating effect on those who imported it to fight diseases. In the end, DDT is a hazard to the environment and should be banned.
