Water Footprint |
Carbon levels in Canada are(of 2016) 732. This means carbon levels have increased by 32% since 1990's . Over this long time period the carbon levels created by the Green House Gases(GHG) has gone down by 0.62 mega tonnes(MT). Carbon levels rising is bad because it adds to global warming.
A major reason for the slow process of destruction of the ozone layer is because of the green house gases this is causing global warming around the world. Plants are getting a lot of Carbon dioxide which makes them work over time to produce more oxygen. |
The total amount of CO2 in Canada(as of 2014) was 732 mega tonnes. This CO2 level is at a all time high. This change can be seen if you were to look at a chart and see that back in 1990 the CO2 level was at a good amount of 613 it went up by 83%. The reason why this is bad is because it has caused the sea levels to rise. The reason that the sea levels are rising is because of the GHG being released into the earth's atmosphere and melting the north and south ice plates. It also causes the animals to lose their habitats.

Our water footprint is not only made up of just the water we drink and the water we use in our home. The water footprint is also made up of water used up to produce goods and services, the food we eat, the clothes we buy and, the products we use that require water to operate so that it can preform a task. We use a surprising amount of water through out our daily lives. To put this in better perspective the average water footprint per Canadian is 6,392 liters a day. A huge amount of water is used for our daily life . For example 1,755 liters of water required to make one sausage. 160 liters of water is used to produce one large banana. Water is a major fact in the humans life not only for cooking but it is used for electricity to provide for the entire country we also use water(The sea) for travelling lets not forget of that 60% of the human adult body is made of water. Water is a major factor of our lives.
