Think about this: how many toilet rolls will you buy in your lifetime? And how much energy will you use? The total set of greenhouse gas emissions you will cause in your whole life constitutes your carbon footprint.

If you follow an average life journey from when you’re born to when you grow old, you'll be surprised by the impact we will have on the planet – imagine how much food you'll eat, and how many products you'll buy during your average of 78 years on Earth!

A carbon footprint can be measured for an individual or an organization, and is typically given in tons of CO2-equivalent (CO2-eq) per year. The average North American generates about 20 tons of CO2-eq each year.

For example, did you know that British people will eat 10,000 chocolate bars in a lifetime? And that French people will drink more than 70,000 cups of coffee? After hearing about all these fascinating facts, you’ll probably feel bad about the 40 tons of rubbish that you’ll throw away in your lifetime!
