Carbon Trading Schemes

Carbon Emission trading schemes
Carbon Footprint is a term that describes the whole climate change impact of a business or individual over time.
Australians on average have the largest carbon footprint in the world. Our dependence on fossil fuel, and its necessity to assist with the running of our homes and businesses compared with the rest of the world, all impacts this.
The carbon footprint that we produce (or carbon pollution) is measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO²) which is directly from burning fossil fuels in which carbon is released into atmosphere.
The measurement of our carbon footprint comes from individuals, families, organisations and countries.

These footprints are made up from almost every activity in our daily lives. Obvious usage is electricity, car and air travel. The indirect measurements or embodied carbon emissions come from the growing, manufacturing and transport of all of our things we have in our life - food, clothes, furniture, appliances, books nearly everything we have in our lives. Some activities have none – ie walking on the beach, riding a bike.

In the future items purchased will have its carbon footprint on the label and we will have the choice whether to buy it or not. Some products have more environmental impact than others.
The aim of the game is to reduce your carbon footprint as much as you can by making certain lifestyle choices.
For business, the calculation of a carbon footprint generally runs over a financial year. It is essential carbon accounting, but they fall under the umbrella of a business corporate social responsibility or sustainability department, they naturally rest with accounting departments.
