A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact that your activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced.

Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change. The carbon footprint of an individual or organization is the total amount of greenhouse gases that are emitted as a result of their activities, such as driving a car, traveling with planes, or manufacturing goods.

According to data from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the top three sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States in 2019 were electricity production (28%), transportation (29%), and industry (22%). The largest contributor to electricity production emissions was the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas. Transportation emissions were primarily from the burning of fossil fuels in cars, trucks, and airplanes.

Reducing one's carbon footprint is important for mitigating climate change and slowing the rate of global warming. NFTCars are the world's first high-pollution cars backed by NFTs and were launched with the purpose of making your carbon emission reduction transparent, easy to trace, and verifiable. We buy high-carbon emissions cars, scrap them the way non-parts will be reused and create and NFT. We calculate how much CO2 those cars emit carbon every year, so it will be straightforward to analyze how much carbon has reduced per year if you buy an NFTCar.

It is important to reduce our carbon footprint in order to mitigate climate change and slow the rate of global warming. By making small changes in our daily lives and supporting policies and technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we can all play a part in protecting the planet for future generations.
