Note: Carbon footprint indicates the "carbon consumption" of a person or group. "Carbon" refers to natural resources composed of carbon elements such as oil, coal, and wood. The more "carbon" is consumed, the more "carbon dioxide" (the culprit of global warming) is produced, and the larger the "carbon footprint" is; conversely, the smaller the "carbon footprint" is.
