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....
