Abstract

The atmosphere is being disturbed by an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases, resulting in severe global warming and related effects. Each day, more comparable carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere because of industrial processes, transportation, animal activities, lighting, cooking, heating, and illumination. The term "carbon footprint" refers to the number of greenhouse gases that a person, a nation, or an organization emits because of their activities. The methodologies for calculating carbon footprints are still being developed, but they are becoming a vital tool for managing greenhouse gases. This review article discusses the carbon footprint, measurement methods, and other important information. In the future, it is critical to keep developing and enhancing techniques for evaluating the environmental effect, including creating more thorough and consistent systems for computing carbon footprints. To develop a more comprehensive understanding of the environmental impact of human activities, it will also be crucial to consider environmental effects other than greenhouse gas emissions. These actions will ultimately be essential for reducing the impact of climate change and maintaining the health and well-being of our planet.
