Question

Many human activities result in carbon dioxide emissions.

Our carbon footprint is a measure of how much carbon dioxide we each cause to be produced.
(a) Why should we be concerned about our carbon footprint?
(b) Most power stations in the UK burn coal.
Coal was formed from tree-like plants over millions of years.
Suggest why burning wood instead of coal would help to reduce our carbon footprint.

Answer 1

: the average human-driven CO2 emissions per year climbed 1.4%

every household makes about 7 tons worth of Co2

A C02 footprints are produced at such high rates and hurts plants and the environment

B coal is a very inexpensive and efficient way to generate electricity. Since its a large quantity of them which still produces alot co2 unlike wood, burning wood doesn't produce as much but it's much harder to ignite and get to last because it takes coal almost 100 degrees and wood takes about 700 degrees
