Global Warming, a skeptic's view of potential climate change, has become a hot topic for the world today. The current transformation of the carbon cycle due to changes in climate and atmospheric composition is widely recognized as dangerous for the biosphere and for the well-being of humankind. While many of us aim to reduce our carbon footprints, today's lifestyle and industrial development has bound us in limits. "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do," says a famous saying and we should also take some strong steps to actually reduce our carbon footprints in order to save this Green Planet. A proper monitoring, understanding and management strategy is what which is required to save life on earth. By applying proper carbon management strategies we can alter the dangerous effects of carbon up to some extent and can also cut the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide in order to reduce global warming. There is a lot that an individual or household can do, such as measure their "carbon footprint." This concept was created to measure the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that an activity releases into the atmosphere, thereby contributing to global warming. Once your footprint is calculated, you can also make changes in your behavior or lifestyle to reduce that footprint. Either at our home or at our workplace we can do many things to reduce our carbon footprints. At an individual level we can reduce our energy needs by changing our lifestyle, our attitude and also our way of thinking. Being careful about what we buy and how we use electronic goods and appliances will not only save us money, but also cut down on energy and cut our carbon footprint - all without any huge changes to our lifestyle. Some of the simplest actions in the home include turning off all lights and appliances when they are not in use and recycling. Changing to energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs can also reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 500 pounds for each bulb replaced. Corporate carbon management is an innovative practice which is not only beneficial for the businesses applying them but also for their customers, business partners and on a whole for everyone. A growing body of evidence asserts that corporations can do well by doing good. Companies can differentiate their brands and reputations, as well as their products and services, if they take responsibility for the well-being of the societies and environments in which they operate. By applying carbon management as an essential strategy we can avoid many disastrous effects of runaway climate change. So, don't wait until its too late, go ahead and manage your carbon footprints today to save tomorrow.About the Author:
