For some people, 'going green' is more of a fashion choice rather than a concern for the environment.The truth is, 'going green' really does matter.  
Global warming is becoming an increasingly 'hot' topic.Not everyone agrees on the reasons and ramifications of climate change, but most agree that the earth is getting warmer and action is required.  .  
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases which are produced during the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal.A carbon footprint is a way of describing the impact that our activities have on the environment, and relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide.In 14 years, between 1990 and 2004, global carbon emissions increased 28%.  
Each person living in Australia is calculated to emit over five tonnes of carbon a year. For example, an average car gives off over 4 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.Domestic electricity consumption by an average Australian home produces around 7 tonnes of greenhouse gases each year. 
There are many ways of reducing our carbon footprint, and it is incumbent on each of us to make an effort.Our own day-to-day lifestyles make up our primary footprint, with our buying habits contributing to our secondary carbon footprint.There are green choices.
