The climate is changing. Nowadays we have an accelerating warming trend that has brought the global mean temperature up 0.8°C over the past century and more than 0.4°C over the last decade.

Global warming is caused by releasing what are called greenhouse gases (GHG): carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere.

However, by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere and temperatures are rising into the atmosphere thereby increasing the planet`s temperature leading to real issues: melting ice caps, rapidly spreading droughts.

Additionally, the irreversible damage to the world's ecosystems, including the resulting extinction of a large fraction of the earth's species, will be the most extensive civilized humans will have ever experienced.

And yet, with every ton of carbon burned, the earth is irreversibly altered and the changes in climate to come will likely threaten many people's access to those basic services: including food, shelter and water.

Everything we buy, produce, use and dispose of has a carbon footprint. The carbon footprint of a product or service is the total carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases emitted during its life cycle, ranging from its raw materials, through production to its final disposal.
