Nature can do the heavy lifting of the climate work while at the same time producing food, cleaning the air we breathe, biofiltering the water we drink and other ecosystem services that we usually take for granted and frequently want to substitute with human tech.

More infoA carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our actions.
The average carbon footprint for a person in the United States is 16 tons, one of the highest rates in the world. Globally, the average is closer to 4 tons. To have the best chance of avoiding a 2℃ rise in global temperatures, the average global carbon footprint per year needs to drop under 2 tons by 2050.
Lowering individual carbon footprints from 16 tons to 2 tons doesn’t happen overnight! By making small changes to our actions, like eating less meat, taking less connecting flights and line drying our clothes, we can start making a big difference.
You can calculate your carbon footprint in these sites:
Measuring And Reporting Your Carbon Emissions
The Nature Conservancy: Carbon Calculator
United States Environmental Protection Agency: Carbon Footprint Calculator
Plataforma Mexicana de Carbono
