A carbon footprint is a summary of all of an individual's activities and how those activities will effect the earth's deterioration. Activities that involve burning natural gas, coal and oil raise the levels of carbon dioxide and increase the amount of greenhouse gases. In turn, these greenhouse gases are offsetting the earth's natural process of regulating our climate. As a planet we are experiencing rising temperatures, often referred to as global warming.
