In our ever changing and growing population, sustainability is vital to preserving the Earth. As our communities expand, our carbon emissions continue to grow which causes us to have a greater carbon footprint. A large carbon footprint/CO2 emissions is very harmful to our environment. One negative impact is global climate change. This is endangering natural habitats of animals, causing glaciers to melt resulting in sea level rise, harsher weather patterns, and it’s making agriculture and human life very difficult. In order to reduce our carbon footprint, we all need to learn how to become environmentally sustainable in our community.
