It is thought that even if greenhouse gas emissions ceased entirely, global temperatures would continue to rise for a few decades into the future.
As fossil fuel resources continue to decrease worldwide, more and more attention is being focused on harnessing power from renewable energies generated from alternative natural sources.
The term carbon footprint commonly refers to the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and other greenhouse gases (GHG) that an organization or individual is accountable for producing.
Human settlements occupy just 3 percent of the land in Sweden, which is a country about the same size as California, and forests cover 69 percent of the land.
