What is carbon footprint
World
Canada
Major sources of cabon emissions in Canada include electricity generation (coal and oli), transportation (especially in regions with extensive geographic areas) and the natural resources extraction industry
China
The country with the highest carbon emissions today. Major sources are electricity generation (coal in the primary source) heavy industry, and the growing transportation sector due to increased vhicle use.
India
Emissions result significantly from electricity generation, where coal remains a major source. Transportation, agriculture, and deforestation are also contributing factors.
United States
One of the largest carbon emitters in the world. Primary sources includ the transportation sector (cars, trunks, airplanes). electricity generations (often from coal and natural gases), manufacturing indutries and agriculture.
Germany
Carbon emissions are largely attributed to electricity generations (including coal energy), heavy industries and transportation.
Germany
Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest is a significant source of carbon emissions in Brazil, along with agriculture, livestock and non-renewable energy generations.
Netherlands
The transportation sector, electricity generation, the chemical industry and agriculture are the main sources of carbon emissions in the Netherlands
Human Activities
Personal activities
Activities like using lawnmowers, grilling with charcoal, and recreational boating also contribute to CO2 emissions.

Agriculture
Agricultural activities release CO2 through the use of fossil fuels in tractors and machinery, as well as though the release of meathan (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) from livestock and agricultural practies.
Heating and cooling
Using fossil fuels or electricity generated from fossile fuels to heat or cool homes and buildings can result in CO2 emissions.
Transportation
The use of cars, trucks, ariplane, and ships powered by fossile fules like gassoline and diesel significant amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Electricity generation
Many power plants still rely on fossil fuels (cole, natural gas, and oli) to generate electricity, which emits CO2 when burned.
Industrial processes
Various industries emit CO2 through activities like manufacturing, cement production and chemical processing, often by burning fossil fuels
Deforestation
The cutting down of forests releases CO2 stored in trees and disrupts the planets natural carbon cycle.

Consumer consuption
The production and transportation of goods and services, such as food, clothing, and electronics, can result in CO2 emissions.
