Carbon Footprint
Thorlakshofn
The climate change crisis is the largest threat to humankind and other living beings today. This is not debatable, it's a scientific fact.
In most cases travelling from one country to another requires one to use some form of transportation that burns fosil fuels (oil, gas, etc). The burning of those fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide (Co2) into the atmosphere, which is known to be the largest contributor to the global warning crisis.
Climate experts agree that planting trees is one of the best possible ways to reduce the amount of CO2 in the air. Trees feed off the CO2 they capture from the air, the water in the ground, and the soil surrounding them. In the process of turning CO2 into wood, trees release oxygen into the air that we breath. This natural process, known as photosynthesis, results in less CO2 in the atmosphere, effectively impeding the rate of global warming...
