"What Carbon Footprint?" Asks Coil Coater

In case you haven't heard, our planet is getting warmer. At what rate it is occurring or how much human activity has to do with the increasing temperatures is a heated debate. One thing we do know for sure...carbon dioxide (CO2) is a contributing factor in global warming and humans are responsible for a large portion of these emissions. Things are much different today than they were even five years ago; individuals and businesses alike are trying to reduce their environmental impact and GHG (Green House Gas) emissions. What the average person does not realize is that they have two types of footprints, a primary and secondary. The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels including domestic energy consumption and transportation, e.g. car and plane. The secondary footprint is a measure of indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use, those associated with their manufacturing and eventual breakdown. To put it simply – the more we buy, the more emissions will be caused on our behalf. [More]

Per Capita Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Polluters

Some have suggested that a penalty system be established for those countries with the highest per capita carbon dioxide emissions. For example, even though China has a higher CO2 output than the U.S., its apportioned output is less than the US. As such, should the U.S. be penalized for this? [More]
