The total amount of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, that you generate constitutes your individual carbon footprint. In the United States, we each create 16 tons annually on average - one of the highest rates worldwide (the global average is closer to 4 tons, according to the Nature Conservancy).
