Abstract
Man is a researcher as well as a discoverer. Each time human being develops a new technology leading to addition of new dimensions in the comfort of mankind. But each new discovery and innovation side by side brings some ill effects on our environment. Today manmade activities are responsible for increasing the carbon footprints. Due to the shift of our society from primitive agrarian economies to large-scale production based economies. Emission of Carbon-Di-Oxide, Methane, Nitrous-oxides and other fluorinated Gases increased at a fast pace. These gases trap heat and are responsible for the global warming. Global warming leads to climate change and again which is responsible for the increase in carbon footprints. Both direct and indirect human activities are responsible for the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Some activities like respiration, production and consumption of food and electricity are our necessities but use of air conditioners at low temperature and unmindful use of other luxurious gadgets and technology are our greed which are a major source of producing carbon foot prints. Human-beings must learn to live in harmony with their environment and should minimise their greed to conserve natural resources and maintain ecological balance so that all forms of life can sustain for a longer period of time on this mother earth.
