Carbon Audit 
Understanding & Managing Your Carbon Footprint
The carbon footprint essentially refers to the total amount of greenhouse gases, particularly CO2, that are emitted indirectly or directly by human activities. The impact of the activities on the environment is measured, in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced. The concept is crucial in understanding how collective or individual actions can contribute to climate change. Assessment of the carbon footprint highlights key areas where changes would significantly reduce the environmental impact.
Whether it's the electricity powering your computers or the vehicles driving you to success, every facet of a business happens to have an impact on the planet's health. Earthood believes in making this impact visible and manageable.
Energy Consumption
Burning fossil fuels for heat, transportation, and electricity largely contributes to the carbon footprint. Industrial facilities, power plants, and vehicles can emit large amounts of CO2 when coal, natural gas, or oil is burned for energy generation. Reduction of energy consumption through efficiency or changing to using renewable energy sources becomes critical in lowering our planet's carbon footprint.
Deforestation
Forests serve as carbon sinks, absorbing more CO2 than they emit. However, deforestation resulting from urban development, agriculture, or logging would release the stored carbon back into the atmosphere. It reduces the total number of trees that can absorb CO2, while increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases, thereby accelerating climate change.
Agriculture and Food Production
Practices including livestock farming, rice cultivation, use of synthetic fertilizers are all sources of nitrous oxide and methane, as potent greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Livestock like cattle can produce methane during digestion while fertilizers release N2O during application. Production, processing, and food transportation can lead to carbon emissions.
What is Carbon Audit
In its essence, a carbon audit is a meticulous assessment that quantifies the greenhouse gas emissions associated with your company's operations. This evaluation is the first vital step in the journey towards not just reducing your carbon footprint but transforming your environmental impact into a competitive advantage.
