Why is it important to calculate our own carbon footprint?

In and of itself, this is not important. However, if you're committed to help conservation efforts, and to minimize your contribution to pollution and global climate change, calculating your own carbon footprint can be likened to calculating your calories consumed each day for a person trying to lose weight, or at least maintain his/her weight. By looking at your personal carbon footprint, and what the major contributors are to it, you can target certain things you do, or products you use, to reduce your carbon footprint.

You can also compare your carbon footprint to the average person's to see how badly (or well) you're doing. In short, calculating your personal carbon footprint, and keeping track of it as it changes, allows you to track where you are, how you're doing compared to others, and what areas are the best places to start reducing your impact on the environment.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
