Household Carbon Emissions
- Information Sheet
 |
What
is carbon? A basic explanation.
Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse
gases given off each time we burn
fossil fuels. Wether it’s to
fuel our cars, or the electricity
we use when we turn on appliances
or the gas we use to cook or heat
our homes/water, the carbon accumulates
in the upper atmosphere with other
gases and creates a ‘blanket’
causing the ‘greenhouse effect’.
What fossil fuels do we use? Coal,
oil and gas are all fossil fuels used
in either the production of electricity,
fuel for our vehicles, materials for
manufacturing or home heating/cooking.
These fossil fuels by their very nature
are not renewable in our lifetime.
Each time we use an electrical appliance
we are part of the chain of carbon
dioxide producers. Consumption in
the home creates an estimated 8 to
10 tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum
per household....
