Following the previous post ‘ Reduce your Carbon Footprint by Buying Local’, we are going to look further into how much CO2 emissions are produced for different types of food, therefore analysing the carbon footprints for food products in the UK.
Many products in the UK are flown in due to them being highly perishable. These [...]

In order to assess how our daily actions affect the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and contribute to our carbon footprint it is important to know which of the fossil fuels and other fuels we release are the most harmful to our planet, we can assess this by examining which fossil fuels give [...]

Coal is one of the most abundant fossil fuels that are left, and hundreds of years supply may be available. Nobody is certain but estimates range from 250 years to 350 years. It is difficult to say however because nobody knows how much we will rely on coal in the future once other fossil fuels [...]

Oil often gets most attention when people ask questions about how much fossil fuel there is left in the world. However we should not overlook all the fossil fuels on the planet, so how much natural gas is left in the world? And when will natural gas run out?

As mentioned in ‘Carbon Footprint – What is it?’ an individual’s [...]
